Supply Chain Manager

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.
