About the Company
Our client is an established, fast-growing contract manufacturer with more than 30 years in business and about 400 employees.

Through it all, it has kept a family-oriented culture where leadership is accessible and strong performers grow with the business.

The Role
The Account Coordinator supports the Contract Packaging sales team as the day-to-day point of contact for a set of brand customers.

• Communicate proactively when schedules change, so customers hear about it from you first
• Coordinate daily shipments with the warehouse and carriers
• Prepare customer reports, including open order, status, and inventory reports
• Support the sales team with order entry, follow-ups, and sample coordination
• Join customer visits with sales leadership and attend trade shows as needed

What You Bring

• Required: 2+ years of experience in contract manufacturing, contract packaging, co-packing, OEM, or private label
• Experience managing a high volume of SKUs and orders, ideally in personal care, cosmetics, household, food, beverage, or nutraceuticals
• Proven ability to multitask and stay organized in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Experience working directly with production and planning teams on delivery dates
• Strong Excel skills and ERP experience (SAP, JDE, Oracle, or similar)
• Clear, proactive written and verbal communication
• A bachelor’s degree, or an associate degree with 2+ years of related experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience

Work Environment
This role is primarily office-based, with regular time on the production floor and in the warehouse , where safety and dress requirements apply. You may occasionally be exposed to fumes, airborne particles, and some chemicals.
