Part-Time Packaging & Inventory Specialist

Hart Shaped Rocks LLC; Charleston (SC); On-site; USD 17,000 - 25,000; Part time

Job summary

Hart Shaped Rocks LLC in Charleston, SC is seeking a Part-Time Packaging Operations Associate to ensure packaging materials are available and to support Fulfillment and Planning teams across HQ and the packaging storage unit. You will manage the procurement calendar, track consumption, coordinate packaging allocation for stores, and help with inventory stewardship.

This role requires organization, reliability, and willingness to cross-train with Inventory Operations.

Qualifications

• 1–3+ years in warehouse, inventory, packaging operations, retail stockroom, or comparable hands-on operational roles.
• Organized and dependable, comfortable owning stock levels across multiple consumption points and multiple physical locations.
• Numerate, able to track consumption trends, forecast simple replenishment needs, and reconcile inbound shipments accurately.
• Reliable communicator, proactive about surfacing stock risks and vendor issues before they impact fulfillment.
• Team-oriented; willing to cross-train and cover for a partner role.

Responsibilities

• Maintain the Packaging Storage Unit as a well-organized, well-stocked, and accurately counted inventory space, the single source of truth for HART's packaging materials.
• Execute the packaging procurement calendar under the Fulfillment Manager's direction: place orders on schedule, receive and reconcile inbound packaging shipments, flag lead-time risks.
• Track packaging consumption across HQ/Ecommerce, Retail Stores, and Wholesale & Trunk Show teams. Surface stock risks (low inventory of any material) to the Fulfillment Manager before they impact fulfillment operations.
• Support network-wide packaging allocation planning by anticipating consumption spikes tied to seasonal launches, holiday volume, new store openings, or wholesale orders.
• During retail allocation runs, handle packaging allocation to each store in parallel with the Planning & Allocation Manager's product allocation, ensuring stores receive both product and the packaging needed to fulfill it in a single, coordinated shipment.
• Confirm packaging levels at each retail store on a recurring cadence; replenish before shortages disrupt customer service.
• Coordinate special-order packaging needs for Wholesale, Trunk Show, and Darling-account collaboration shipments.
• Serve as the day-to-day operational partner to the Fulfillment Manager on all packaging matters, reporting stock levels, consumption trends, and vendor issues.
• Escalate strategic decisions (vendor changes, packaging design updates, budget-impacting changes, storage-unit capacity issues) to the Fulfillment Manager, who escalates to the Head of CX & Fulfillment as needed.
• Provide as-needed capacity to the Planning & Allocation Manager beyond the standard packaging-allocation workflow.
• Provide as-needed capacity to the QA & Inventory Coordinator during high-volume inbound intake windows.
• Cross-trained on the Inventory Operations Associate's core workflows to enable coverage during that role's PTO or absence.
• If both the Packaging Operations Associate and the Inventory Operations Associate are out simultaneously, packaging responsibilities revert to the Fulfillment Manager.
