• A true self-starter
• someone who takes initiative and doesn't wait to be told what's next
• Highly organized with sharp attention to detail; comfortable managing multiple trackers and deadlines at once
• Strong proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables and VLOOKUPs a plus); hands-on experience with PLM, ERP, or B2B platforms such as AIMS360, WFX, JOOR, or NuOrder is a strong plus

• A genuine passion for fashion and product
• someone who shops the market and knows the competitive landscape
• Calm, adaptable, and solutions-oriented under deadline pressure
• A collaborative team player who's equally comfortable working independently
• Able to reliably commute to our Downtown Los Angeles office in person on scheduled workdays
