balance service levels against working-capital efficiency.Build resilience into the supply base — dual sourcing, lead-time reduction, and cost-down programs.Marketplace & Channel OperationsOwn operational health of every channel: account metrics, chargebacks, compliance scorecards, and dispute recovery on Amazon, Wayfair, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target Plus, eBay, and Shopify.Partner with sales and ecommerce teams on launch readiness, peak-season planning (Prime Day, Way Day, holiday), and promotional capacity.Reduce cost-to-serve by channel and give leadership true channel-level profitability visibility.Systems, Data & ProcessOwn the operations technology stack — WMS, ERP, EDI, shipping software, and marketplace integrations — and lead selection or replacement where systems are holding us back.Build the KPI infrastructure: daily operational dashboards, weekly business reviews, and root-cause discipline when metrics slip.Document and standardize processes so the operation scales without heroics.Leadership & P&LLead, develop, and hold accountable a team of warehouse managers, production leaders, and supply chain staff across four sites; build bench strength and a promote-from-within culture.Own the operations P&L: labor, freight, facilities, materials, and overhead — with clear cost-reduction and margin-expansion targets.Ensure safety (OSHA), labor compliance, and product regulatory requirements are met at every facility.Serve as a strategic partner to the CEO on growth planning, facility expansion, automation, and M&A or new-category readiness.What Success Looks Like in the First 12 MonthsSeller Fulfilled Prime and all marketplace scorecards consistently green, with zero suspensions.A single weekly operating dashboard covering all four warehouses and manufacturing — trusted by the whole leadership team.Measurable reduction in cost per order shipped and cost per unit produced, with a documented roadmap for year two.Inventory accuracy above 99% and improved in-stock rates on top sellers across every channel.A stronger leadership bench: clear owners, clear metrics, and succession depth at every site.QualificationsRequired10+ years of progressive operations leadership in ecommerce, consumer products, retail fulfillment, or manufacturing;
