• Analyze customer and sales data to surface actionable trends
• Set the results-oriented operational standards that keep StartupEdge running smoothly
• Own the math behind every Inventory Manager promise made to a customer
• Streamline operational workflows to reduce cost and improve efficiency

What You'll Bring

• Proven Procurement results, ideally seasoned in Warren, MI

• Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
• 7+ years of Facilitation reps, not just Facilitation exposure
• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
• A Warren network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
