JOB OVERVIEW

About Proper Growth
Proper Growth is the back of house for inventory-heavy consumer brands doing $5M to $50M a
year. We're a small fractional COO and CFO team running operations and finance for brands
that sell physical products across DTC, Amazon and wholesale.

The role
You'll be the link between our client brands' supply chains and our ops lead. Factories, freight
forwarders, 3PLs and warehouses come to you. You keep every PO, shipment and production
run moving, and you turn it all into the weekly reports and decks our clients rely on. You'll own
all vendor communication and all weekly client materials, so our ops lead can focus on planning
and decisions.

What you'll do
● Vendor communication: Own day-to-day communication with factories, suppliers, freight
forwarders, 3PLs and warehouses across all client brands. Confirm pricing, quantities,
ship dates and specs, and chase anything late.
● Liaison across the supply chain: Keep production, logistics, warehouse and our ops
lead in sync. Get every PO from placement through production, shipping, receiving and
stock on shelf.
● Daily summaries: Turn overnight WeChat, WhatsApp and email threads into a short
morning summary covering what changed, what's at risk and what needs a decision.
● Weekly client materials: Build and deliver each brand's weekly package: sell-through vs.
forecast, inventory position, open POs and WIP, inbound shipments.
● Deck support: Prepare client decks for weekly calls, monthly closeouts and buy reviews.
● Data hygiene: Keep PO trackers, inventory files and planning sheets current. Reconcile
packing lists, invoices and warehouse receiving reports.

What you need
● 1 to 3+ years in supply chain, production, purchasing or operations coordination.
Consumer goods or apparel preferred.
● Experience working with overseas factories or vendors, and comfort chasing them for
answers.
● Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills. Google Slides or PowerPoint for client-ready decks.
● Clear, organized written communication. You can turn a messy vendor thread into three
lines a founder can act on.
● Strong attention to detail across many POs, SKUs and brands at once.
● Availability for some early-morning or evening overlap with Asian vendors.

Nice to have
● Experience with Shopify, ShipHero, NetSuite, Cin7 or similar
● Familiarity with freight terms, customs and landed cost
● Mandarin or Spanish
● Experience using AI tools to draft summaries and reports

How it works
● Start: Contract to start, then full-time once the workload is proven.
● Who you work with: You'll support the Client Operations Manager and our co-founder
across about 8 to 12 client brands.

How to apply
Fill out the application form and include a 45-second video walking us through how you'd track
10 open POs across 3 factories.
