About Us
EasyBuy Choice is a fast-growing cross-border trade and e-commerce company connecting leading U.S. retail channels with high-quality suppliers in China. We specialize in sourcing, product development, supply chain management, and omnichannel distribution across both retail and e-commerce platforms.
About the Role
We are building a major program to bring private-label consumer electronics products — developed with our China supply chain partners — into large US big-box retail chains, both in-store and online. We are looking for a highly professional Project Manager to own this program end to end: from supplier coordination and private-label development through retailer onboarding, compliance, logistics, and on-shelf launch. The single most important qualification for this role is proven experience taking a big-box retail program from zero to launch in the US market.
Responsibilities
• Own the full private-label program lifecycle: supplier alignment, sampling and approval, packaging and labeling compliance, production orders, inbound logistics, and retail launch.
• Lead vendor onboarding and program execution with major US big-box retailers (e.g., Walmart, Target, Costco), covering both e-commerce (.com / marketplace) and brick-and-mortar tracks — buyer engagement, item setup, EDI and supply chain system integration.
• Coordinate the China supply chain side — production scheduling, inspections, and delivery timelines — driving to project milestones. (Detailed product specifications and engineering are owned by factory and product teams; deep technical expertise is not required.)
• Manage the private-label workstream: packaging design, label compliance, GS1/barcoding, and certification documentation (UL/ETL, FCC, CA Prop 65, etc.).
• Financial oversight: build and maintain the program financial model — budgets, landed unit cost (BOM, freight, duties, channel fees), margin and cash flow projections; track chargebacks, deductions, and receivables; deliver regular financial health reports to leadership.
• Develop project plans, milestones, and risk mitigation strategies; drive execution across US and China teams and time zones.
• Report program status to senior management and lead cross-functional coordination across sales, sourcing, logistics, and finance.
Qualifications
• 5+ years of project management experience, including at least one program taken from zero to launch with a major US big-box retailer — both online and in-store. This is the primary qualification for the role.
• Working knowledge of US retailer vendor onboarding, routing guides, and chargeback/compliance rules.
• Strong financial acumen: able to independently build program budgets, analyze cost structures, model margins and cash flow, and read a P&L.
• Familiarity with China-based supply chains and cross-border logistics (ocean freight, customs clearance, delivery to retailer DCs).
• Fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese — this role works directly with China supply chain partners and US retail counterparts.
• Hands-on experience with private label / OEM programs.
• Authorized to work in the United States.
Preferred Qualifications
• PMP or equivalent project management certification.
• Experience with retailer systems such as Retail Link (Walmart) or Partners Online (Target).
• Prior big-box launch experience in consumer electronics or small appliances.
• Background or education in finance or supply chain finance.
Who You Are
• A relentless driver: strong execution and follow-through, able to align factories, retailers, and internal teams around aggressive timelines.
• Numbers-driven and detail-oriented, with a strong compliance mindset — big-box retailers are unforgiving on compliance and delivery.
• Comfortable under pressure in a fast-paced environment spanning US and China time zones.
How to Apply
  • Please send your resume to [carol@kytclub.com] with the subject line “Project Manager – [Your Name]”. Include a brief summary of a big-box retail program you launched from zero to one — the retailer, your role, and the outcome

  • In person (Industry / Redlands, CA)
