Highly organized with the ability to manage complex calendars and hundreds of SKUs without breaking a sweat
A "startup" mindset, ready to pivot based on sales trends or global supply chain shifts
Most importantly, you have positive energy with a collaborative spirit and a growth mindset

Responsibilities
