Job description

About Us

Overjoy is an AI-native sales company for SMBs. We began as a sales platform for consumer brands, then expanded to running the full sales process end-to-end and selling the outcome.

Every consumer brand needs a wholesale department: someone to find the right retailers, reach out, close the account, and keep it reordering. For most brands that department is too expensive to hire. Overjoy runs it for them with people, AI agents, and the software we spent years building for exactly this job.

Over 800 brands like Nature's Path, Milk Bar, and Simply Gum use Overjoy to grow wholesale revenue.

We're backed by Bessemer, OSV, Floodgate and founders of Thumbtack, CareRev, Ando, and Unsupervised — and 6 of our own customers invested after using the product.

About the Role

This is a full-time, in-person role based in New York City.

Wholesale growth depends on getting orders to the right place, on time, at a cost that makes sense. You'll work directly with consumer brands to improve how orders move through warehouses, carriers, distributors, and retailer receiving networks.

This is a senior, hands-on role with ownership of customer logistics analysis and operational improvement. You'll investigate the causes of delivery failures and avoidable costs, coordinate fixes with operating partners, and work with engineering to make shipment monitoring and exception handling more effective with AI.

Responsibilities

• Map order-to-delivery processes and establish reliable views of order status, shipment milestones, freight costs, and fulfillment performance.

• Analyze carrier, lane, warehouse, and service-level performance to identify delays, avoidable expedites, accessorial charges, and freight invoice discrepancies.

• Coordinate with customer teams, 3PLs, carriers, and distributors to resolve exceptions and improve operating procedures.

• Investigate retailer chargebacks and delivery failures, including routing-guide, appointment, labeling, and advance shipping notice issues.

• Build cost-to-serve analyses and test transportation or fulfillment changes with clear service and cost tradeoffs.

• Work with engineering on AI-assisted tracking, document checks, alerts, and case triage; measure on-time and in-full delivery, cost per order, claim recovery, and exception resolution time.

Perks and Benefits

• Annual base salary of $150,000–$180,000 USD, based on relevant experience and role-related skills.

• Health, dental, and vision insurance (U.S.).

• Free lunch.

• The opportunity to shape a new role at the intersection of domain expertise, customer outcomes, and AI.
