• Comfortable working cross-functionally with operations, engineering, planning, and suppliers
• ERP or MRP system experience preferred (NetSuite experience is highly attractive)
• Analytical mindset with the ability to help solve operational and supply chain challenges
• Ability to thrive within a growing company environment where responsibilities are broad and evolving
• Exposure to fabrics, textiles, or highly customized manufacturing environments is a plus
• Bachelor’s degree preferred
