Description

About the Client

Our client is a U.S.-based brand operator and acquirer led by seasoned founders with multiple exits and leadership experience across venture-backed and Fortune-ranked companies. They specialize in scaling beautiful consumer brands and supporting visionary entrepreneurs with hands-on operating expertise. The team brings top-tier credentials and a track record of solving complex challenges with speed, rigor, and resilience.

Why does this role exist?

As the company scales a shrink-wrap brand within its portfolio, it needs a highly reliable Shopify administrator to keep daily operations tight, accurate, and fast. This role ensures smooth order fulfillment, precise inventory control across systems, responsive customer support, and disciplined email outreach to fuel growth. You’ll work closely with the CEO and an existing VA to proactively spot issues, make decisions, and execute without constant instruction.
