We have an immediate need for an RMA Coordinator to support our repair and returns operations with a strong focus on vendor management, inventory control, and reverse logistics.

• Own packaging and shipping logistics for incoming and outgoing components, with a focus on power supplies and related hardware

• Track and manage RMA inventory, including physical transfers between departments

• Monitor outstanding RMA cases with vendors and drive follow-ups to closure

• Partner with vendors on special part requests, failure analysis requests (FAR), and urgent escalations

• Manage day-to-day RMA receiving activities and ensure accurate system updates

• Maintain real-time tracking of tickets, workflows, and open issues

• Ensure RMAs are processed within defined service-level agreements (SLAs)

• Generate and maintain daily productivity and workflow reports

• Support Customer Service with RMA authorization and case processing as needed

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Customer Support, Quality, and Engineering teams

• Maintain and update RMA process documentation; create new SOPs as needed

• Continuously review and improve RMA workflows and operational processes

You

• Have experience in RMA coordination, logistics, supply chain, or similar operational role

• Are highly organized with strong attention to detail and follow-through

• Can manage multiple workflows and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment

• Are comfortable working directly with vendors and internal stakeholders

• Have strong written and verbal communication skills

• Are data-driven and capable of tracking metrics, reporting, and process performance

• Can work cross-functionally and drive accountability across teams

• Are proactive in identifying issues and pushing them to resolution

• Are adaptable and flexible with changing priorities

• Maintain a structured and process-oriented approach to work

Nice to Have

• 2+ years of experience in RMA operations, supply chain, or hardware logistics

• Experience working with server hardware, power supplies, or data center components

• Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite), ticketing tools (e.g., Zendesk, Jira), or inventory systems

• Understanding of failure analysis processes and vendor return workflows

• Experience in process improvement or SOP documentation

• Basic knowledge of hardware components and repair workflows
