This position also plays a key role in supporting customer-facing activities and mentoring junior team members.

• Ensure factories meet execution timelines aligned with compliance, testing, and shipping schedules.

Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Familiarity with big-box retail workflows (e.g., Target POL, Walmart Retail Link, testing protocols).

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage high SKU volumes across multiple categories.

• Proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in consumer electronics or adjacent categories such as accessories, audio, power, or smart home products.

• Background developing private label products for major mass retailers.

• Cross-category exposure within consumer electronics or personal tech accessories.
