We're looking for someone with wholesale apparel experience who is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, takes initiative, and is interested in growing into an account management role.

Key Responsibilities

Sales & Account Support

• Enter, maintain, and track customer purchase orders.
• Monitor open orders, inventory, shipping schedules, and customer deadlines.
• Proactively identify and flag late shipments, credit holds, potential cancellations, and other order issues.
• Maintain accurate sales reports, ATS reports, and open order reports.
• Assist with customer communication and follow-up.

Buyer Meetings & Showroom

• Prepare catalogs, line sheets, samples, and presentations for buyer meetings.
• Coordinate appointments and assist with showroom preparation.
• Attend customer meetings, take detailed notes, and prepare recaps and action items.
• Track post-meeting follow-up to ensure deadlines are met.
• Organize and maintain showroom samples and sales materials.

Order Management & Internal Coordination

• Work closely with Sales, Production, Routing, Allocations, and Accounts Receivable.
• Assist with retailer price tickets, UPCs, BOLs, item setup, and customer forms.
• Maintain accurate information in internal systems and retailer portals.
• Assist with pricing updates, markdowns, credits, and other account-related needs.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience in wholesale apparel sales or sales support is strongly preferred.
• Experience working with major retail accounts is a plus.
• Strong Excel skills, including the ability to read and maintain spreadsheets, create formulas, and manage reports.
• Experience using back-office order management systems and tracking open orders.
• Familiarity with retailer price tickets, shipping procedures, and customer requirements is preferred.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Professional communication skills and confidence interacting with buyers and internal teams.

What Matters Most

We're looking for someone who is proactive, dependable, organized, and willing to take ownership of their work.

You don't need to know every system on day one, but you should have a solid understanding of the wholesale apparel business, be comfortable working with Excel, and be eager to learn.

This is an opportunity to work directly with senior leadership, gain exposure to multiple brands and major retailers, and grow into a larger account management role.
