About the Role
Our client is a growing direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce brand in the incontinence care space, offering washable, reusable products for adults and children through Shopify, wholesale channels, and HSA/FSA-eligible platforms.

They are seeking an experienced and highly organized Operations Manager to work directly alongside the founder as a key operational partner. This role serves as the founder’s right hand — someone who can take ideas off the whiteboard and turn them into action with structure, accountability, and execution.
This is a highly hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, takes ownership without waiting for direction, and enjoys keeping multiple moving pieces aligned and progressing.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Manage daily priorities across Asana, Slack, Google Sheets, and email while ensuring smooth business operations.
  • Translate founder ideas into actionable project plans with clear tasks, ownership, timelines, and follow-through.
  • Track active initiatives and ensure no project or deliverable falls through the cracks.
  • Follow up consistently with internal team members, vendors, agencies, and freelancers until completion.
  • Coordinate with suppliers, warehouses/3PL partners, agencies, and contractors on ongoing initiatives.
  • Identify resource gaps and source, evaluate, and onboard freelancers or external support as needed.
  • Prepare daily or weekly executive updates outlining completed work, blockers, priorities, and decision points.
  • Oversee customer support operations to ensure service quality and timely resolution of tickets.
  • Monitor inventory and proactively identify low-stock risks or fulfillment issues.
  • Identify inefficiencies in current workflows and recommend process improvements.

Requirements:
  • Minimum 3+ years of e-commerce experience required.
  • Minimum 3+ years of experience in Operations, Project Management, Chief of Staff, or similar roles.
  • Previous experience working within a DTC or e-commerce environment.
  • Hands-on experience with Shopify, including order management and navigating backend functions.
  • Strong working knowledge of Asana, Slack, and Google Sheets.
  • Excellent written English communication skills with clear and professional communication.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple vendors and external partners simultaneously.
  • Strong follow-up and accountability skills; comfortable driving projects forward.
  • Self-starter who can prioritize independently and identify issues proactively.

Nice-to-Have:
  • Experience in health, wellness, or consumer goods e-commerce.
  • Experience working with warehouse or 3PL operations.
  • Previous experience supporting founders or executives in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
  • Familiarity with wholesale or B2B fulfillment processes.
