JP Ecommerce Inc. (dba Bare Home) | Forest Lake/Columbus, Minnesota | 100% On-Site

About Us

JP Ecommerce has been named one of the top-ten fastest-growing businesses in Minnesota by Inc. 5000 for FOUR consecutive years! We provide customers with high-quality bedding through our brand Bare Home. As a leading textile retail company, we source premium products from key regions including China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey, and we manufacture our cotton line right here in the USA.

We’re experiencing 20–30% year-over-year growth and expanding our warehouse operations from 110,000 to 220,000+ square feet. This is an incredible time to join a company where personal growth and company growth are intertwined. We have team members who started in entry-level roles five years ago and now lead their own departments—that could be your story too.

Position Overview

We’re seeking a Supply Chain Manager to help drive our international supply chain operations as we scale. Reporting to the Director of Logistics, you’ll manage the daily complexities of international vendor relationships, container logistics, and buying operations while bringing strategic thinking to optimize costs and improve performance across our supply chain.

You’ll be our supply chain problem-solver—the person who manages vendor relationships across Turkey, Pakistan, India, and China, coordinates container flow into our warehouse, oversees buying and lead time planning, and holds vendors accountable to their commitments. You’ll lead a team of three (a Supply Chain Analyst, Buyer, and Supply Chain Associate) and work cross-functionally with warehouse operations, finance, and leadership to keep our supply chain running smoothly as we grow.

If you’ve managed international vendor relationships, understand the full buying cycle from purchase order to warehouse dock, and know how to keep a high-growth e-commerce supply chain on track, we want to talk.

• Monitor inventory levels across all channels to prevent stockouts and excess storage costs

Walmart, Target, Canada

• Know what we fulfill in-house vs. what goes to other channels and how it all comes together

• Drive continuous process improvements that increase efficiency and reduce costs
• Work across teams—supply chain, forecasting, warehouse, sourcing, fulfillment—to solve problems and keep operations running
• • Communicate effectively with senior leadership, warehouse operations, and overseas teams

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.

Must-Haves

• Strong Excel skills: VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, pivot tables, complex formulas—you're comfortable working with large datasets

• Analytical thinking: You can spot patterns, identify problems, and think through solutions
• Team player mentality: You collaborate well, communicate clearly, and support your teammates

• 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
