● Monitor compliance with retailer routing guides, labeling requirements, and EDI/vendor compliance standards to avoid chargebacks

● Escalate risks and drive continuous improvement in wholesale fulfillment processes
● Participate in weekly client calls as needed
Leadership & Team Management

● Leadership & Teamwork: proven experience developing people, driving accountability, and partnering smoothly across departments
● Wholesale & Compliance Knowledge: familiar with retailer routing guides, EDI, vendor compliance, and chargeback prevention
● Systems: experience with WMS (warehouse management systems); proficiency in Excel or reporting tools
● Attention to Detail: ability to identify discrepancies and implement solutions quickly and accurately
● Safety & Compliance: OSHA knowledge and a safety-first mindset
● Communication: clear, professional written and verbal communication skills
● Language: bilingual English/Spanish required
● Physical: on your feet most of the shift; ability to lift up to 50 lbs as needed
