Oversee the Supply Chain Manager and ensure end‑to‑end supply chain operations run smoothly, from supplier production in China to 3PL warehouses in the USA, and final delivery to Amazon fulfillment centers. Actively support the team during critical operational periods — stepping in to execute and problem‑solve logistics, customs clearance, or inbound delays. Provide guidance and make strategic decisions on inbound logistics, customs clearance, and domestic transport. Maintain visibility on inventory levels and work with the Supply Chain Manager to prevent stockouts or excess inventory. Bring hands‑on experience in supply chain management, including creating and managing seasonal and monthly forecasting models, with proven ability to make accurate forecasts that guide purchasing and replenishment.
