Our Ways of Working

Babylist thrives as a remote-first company, with HQ team members located across the U.S. and Canada. We meet in person twice a year—once as a company and once by department to strengthen the relationships that power our work. We show up consistently, stay purpose-driven, and achieve results —together, from anywhere.

What the Role Is

As the Order Management Manager, you will oversee the real-time performance of Babylist's multi-node order network—including our internal fulfillment centers, 3PL partners, and dropship vendors. You will lead a team of operations specialists focused on monitoring backlogs, driving order accuracy, and delivering an exceptional post-order experience. In this role, you will serve as a steward of the customer's order journey, ensuring that every package reflects our commitment to care and quality.

This role sits at the heart of Babylist's fulfillment ecosystem, blending data-driven operational management, cross-functional collaboration, and proactive problem-solving. You will manage the systems and teams that ensure every Babylist customer's order—from placement through delivery—is handled with precision and accountability. You will also act as the voice of the customer within fulfillment operations, identifying patterns, surfacing insights, and closing the loop on operational pain points.

We are looking for a strong people leader who thrives on operational excellence, embraces continuous improvement, and is passionate about the role that great fulfillment plays in building lifelong customer trust.

Who You Are

• A highly organized operations professional with 5+ years of experience in order management, fulfillment operations, or supply chain
• 2+ years of people leadership experience, managing exempt-level individual contributors in an operational environment
• Experienced in managing order operations across multi-channel fulfillment models (e.g., in-house, 3PL, dropship)
• Skilled in order management systems (OMS), warehouse systems (WMS), fulfillment workflows, and backlog performance tracking
• Familiar with customer-centric metrics such as delivery SLAs, with an additional focus on post-order experience
• A data-driven problem solver with strong analytical skills and experience using KPIs to inform decision-making
• A proactive cross-functional collaborator who communicates clearly with internal teams and external partners
• Calm under pressure, comfortable with ambiguity, and relentless in owning outcomes
• Excited to build and refine scalable processes that improve operational efficiency and enhance customer satisfaction
• Aligned with Babylist's mission and core values—especially our commitment to Loving our Users and Commit, Act, Deliver
  
  

How You Will Make An Impact

• Lead a high-performing team responsible for the real-time performance of Babylist's order flow across fulfillment centers, 3PLs, and dropship vendors
• Own key operational metrics, including backlog, order processing times, and fulfillment error rates
• Monitor order backlogs daily and escalate issues proactively to internal and external stakeholders to drive resolution
• Collaborate closely with Babylist Customer Service to identify, analyze, and resolve order issues, ensuring fast and caring resolution for customers
• Expand operational scope to include returns management workflows, post-fulfillment order monitoring, and reshipment root cause analysis
• Partner with the Supply Chain Strategy and Fulfillment teams to innovate and improve operational workflows and system integrations
• Build strong relationships with fulfillment partners, driving accountability and continuous improvement in service delivery
• Establish and maintain scalable standard operating procedures (SOPs) to support current volume and future growth
• Champion Babylist's values in every decision, driving a culture of operational excellence, care, and ownership within your team
