• Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Tech, Customer Experience, and Finance to ensure operational alignment across campaigns, launches, and initiatives
• Audit cross-functional processes and raise flags when there’s misalignment or risk to CX, revenue, or profitability
• Develop and implement systems for greater visibility, accountability, and process improvement across departments
• Lead or contribute to operational planning related to tool migrations, marketing changes, and backend system upgrades

• Marketing and tech tickets execute smoothly and with backend readiness

• 8+ years in operations, fulfillment, or supply chain management roles (DTC, eCommerce, or fast-paced CPG preferred)
• Proven ability to manage 3PL vendors, drive inventory discipline, and optimize backend performance
• Experience working closely with Marketing and Tech teams to support backend execution of campaigns and system changes
• Strong analytical chops—fluent in Excel/Sheets, operational KPIs, and cross-functional reporting
• Detail-oriented, systems-minded, and relentless in improving process discipline and cross-team collaboration
• Comfortable managing projects and PMs, auditing priorities, and asking critical questions that drive business impact
• A natural at connecting backend execution to business performance, customer experience, and revenue protection
• Experience working in mid-size to growth-stage companies where agility and accountability are key
