• Self-starter who’s resourceful, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple accounts/projects at once.
• Flexible mindset—able to step outside your lane when the team needs it.
• 3+ years of relevant operations or supply chain experience preferred, but open to earlier-career talent with strong skills and drive.
• Bachelor’s degree is a plus, not required.
