The Role

As Retail Operations Manager, you will own how our retail orders move from receipt through fulfillment, delivery, and invoicing as we expand our distribution. Success means orders are processed accurately, shipment and invoice requirements are met, and exceptions are resolved early enough to protect retailer commitments.

You will be Snif’s primary owner for retail order execution, responsible for keeping each order moving, resolving operational exceptions within agreed guidelines and escalating inventory allocation, commercial, or spending decisions that require approval. You will work closely with Sales, Procurement and Inventory, Finance, and our manufacturing and fulfillment partners to make sure requirements are clear and commitments are met.

This is a hands‑on individual‑contributor role. When inventory is short, an EDI document is rejected, or a shipment is at risk, you will identify the issue early, bring the right partners together, and drive it to resolution.

As Snif expands its retail distribution, you will help shape the processes, reporting, and tools the business relies on, working directly with the VP of Operations to improve how we serve our retail partners.

This role will report directly to the VP of Operations. While we are based in New York City, we operate as a remote team. This job may require travel ~10‑20% of the time depending on business needs.
