We're a $100M+ textile retailer experiencing 20-30% year-over-year growth, sourcing premium bedding globally from China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey while manufacturing our cotton line right here in the USA.

We sell across Amazon, Walmart, Target, our DTC channels, and international markets—and we're expanding operations from 110,000 to 220,000+ square feet. We're making significant investments in our supply chain and logistics team right now, growing from five to six team members.

This isn't corporate bureaucracy. We're 87 people who work exceptionally well together, tackle challenges as a team, and see the direct impact of our work every day.

The Role

We're looking for a Supply Chain Specialist to join our collaborative five-person (expanding to six) supply chain and logistics team. You'll work alongside experienced supply chain professionals, sharing responsibilities and learning the full scope of international e-commerce operations.

This is a team-based role—you won't be doing this alone. We cross-train, support each other when someone's out, and tackle projects collaboratively. Some days you'll focus on your core responsibilities, other days you'll jump in on sourcing projects or warehouse tracking initiatives. That's the nature of working in a small, agile company where flexibility and teamwork matter.

• Develop skills in forecasting, demand planning, and supply chain optimization
• Cross-train across different aspects of supply chain operations

• Familiarity with Amazon FBA, Walmart, or Target fulfillment operations
• Background in e-commerce, retail, or consumer products
• Experience with ERP/WMS systems (SellerCloud, NetSuite, or similar)

What Makes This Opportunity Different

You're joining a strong team of five professionals who work collaboratively and support each other. You won't be thrown into the deep end alone—you'll have experienced teammates to learn from and a culture that values training and development.

We're at an inflection point with major expansion plans, Foreign Trade Zone certification in progress, and significant supply chain investments happening now. You'll gain broad exposure to international supply chain operations in a fast-growth environment where your contributions are visible and valued.

This is the kind of place where warehouse associates from five years ago now run departments. If you want to build a supply chain career with real growth potential, this is that opportunity.

The Team Culture
