JOB OVERVIEW

Daggo Group LLC is building a portfolio of international Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) brands, beginning with the United States.

We are looking for an experienced DTC operator who has already worked behind the scenes with successful e-commerce brands.

This is NOT an entry-level research position.

We do not want someone we need to train on how DTC works.

We are looking for someone who already understands how to move from:

Market → Customer → Problem → Product Opportunity → Validation → Economics → Supplier → Fulfillment → Launch

WHAT WE NEED

You should be able to receive a market or business objective and independently:

• Research the market and customer.

• Identify high-value customer problems and opportunities.

• Conduct Voice of Customer research.

• Analyze existing products, competitors and customer complaints.

• Identify and evaluate potential product solutions.

• Validate product opportunities before significant capital is committed.

• Understand DTC unit economics, including COGS, AOV, CAC, contribution margin, returns and inventory requirements.

• Research and evaluate manufacturers and suppliers.

• Understand product development, sampling, MOQ, quality control and landed cost.

• Understand US fulfillment and 3PL requirements.

• Identify operational risks before launch.

• Build clear recommendations based on evidence.

• Tell us when an opportunity should be CONTINUED, MODIFIED or KILLED.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We strongly prefer candidates who have previously worked directly with DTC/e-commerce brands in areas such as:

• Product research and development
• E-commerce operations
• Market and customer research
• Product sourcing
• Supplier management
• Inventory planning
• Fulfillment / 3PL
• Product launches
• DTC unit economics

We are NOT primarily looking for:

• General virtual assistants
• Entry-level product researchers
• Dropshipping “winning product” hunters
• Shopify designers
• People whose experience is mainly theoretical

You should already know the tools, research methods and information sources required to do this work.

We care more about the QUALITY and SPEED of your execution than the number of hours you work.

This is a deliverables-driven engagement, not a 40-hour-per-week research job.

COMPENSATION

We are prepared to pay above typical market rates for exceptional candidates.

Target compensation is approximately $2,500 USD/month equivalent, depending on experience, capability and engagement structure.

We are also open to project-based compensation for the initial engagement.

INITIAL ENGAGEMENT

The successful candidate will first be engaged on a paid project/contract.

You will work on a real DTC opportunity from our current pipeline.

We will evaluate:

• Quality of thinking
• Research depth
• Commercial judgment
• Speed of execution
• Independence
• Product-development knowledge
• Supplier and fulfillment knowledge
• Communication and responsiveness
• Ability to identify risks
• Ability to make decisions without constant Founder input

Exceptional performance can lead to an ongoing long-term engagement with Daggo Group LLC.

HOW TO APPLY

Begin your application with:

“DTC OPERATOR”

Then answer the following:

1. Which DTC/e-commerce brands have you worked with? State your exact role and responsibilities.

2. Describe one product you helped take from research/opportunity identification through development or launch.

3. What part of the process did YOU personally own?

4. Describe one product or market opportunity you recommended NOT pursuing and why.

5. Describe your experience working with manufacturers, suppliers, samples, MOQ, landed costs and quality control.

6. Describe your experience with US fulfillment, 3PLs, inventory and returns.

7. Give an example where your research or operational decision directly improved revenue, margin, conversion, inventory efficiency or another measurable business outcome.

8. Which tools do you personally use for market research, competitive intelligence, sourcing and DTC analysis?

9. What is your current availability and how quickly can you complete a typical market/product opportunity assessment?

10. What compensation structure do you prefer: project-based, monthly retainer or another arrangement?

Please include evidence, portfolio examples or references where possible.

AI tools are welcome, but we are hiring your EXPERIENCE, JUDGMENT and EXECUTION — not your ability to generate a research report with AI.
