Operations Associate: Learn how to run the supply-chain logistics for a million-dollar company

Fresh Prints is a NYC-based custom apparel startup. We find incredible students and give them the working capital, training, and support to build the business at their schools.

The Operations Team handles the most crucial part of the business and is directly responsible for delivering the end product to our customers. We worked on 30,000+ orders last year with a direct impact of over $31 million in revenue.

How do you coordinate the logistics of a million-dollar campaign involving multiple overseas and domestic vendors? How can we reduce our costs and increase our profit margins for a given order? How can you deliver an order in 5 days which has a standard turnaround time of 10 days?

You will report to one of the Operations Managers from the Preorder or Order Teams. You will be working on a set of unique orders every day that will pose logistical challenges that you’ll have to work through and be directly responsible for them. You’ll have a lot of autonomy and decision-making power.

• How to coordinate the logistics of a million-dollar campaign that involves overseas & domestic vendors
• How to reduce costs & increase our profit margins for a given order

We’re looking for someone who can think on their feet, isn’t afraid to take on challenges on a day-to-day basis, and is high on energy. We’re on a remarkable growth trajectory and as Fresh Prints grows, you will grow too. For the right person, this role offers unlimited opportunities. You will be given the space and guidance to have a tremendous impact.
