**A FEW AWESOME THINGS ABOUT THIS ROLE**:

- You’ll work directly with the management team, giving your input on business decisions and strategic planning.
- We are not a siloed team, and this is not a siloed position. You will be expected NOT to be “just a purchasing agent,” but to develop an understanding of our broader operations like sales, marketing, logistics, and product development. You will be exposed to every part of the business to understand how your decisions impact our overall success, and support every team in their operations.
- You’ll have unlimited opportunities to solve problems, explore ideas, and try new things. We’re big on solving problems and constantly improving our processes.
- You get to be part of a multi-generational team of people who are committed to each other, the company, and their work, but also to their own personal lives and well-being. Go home at the end of the day. Live a life. Tell us about it.
