• Own brand-facing communication, providing clear, professional correspondence, feedback, and follow-ups to ensure timely execution
• Manage the shared inbox and intake portal, triaging requests, responding to inquiries, and maintaining organized workflows.
• Execute detailed system updates, including SKU uploads and event-related data entry to support inventory boosting initiatives
• Maintain accuracy within internal systems, including uploading event titles, images, and assets while upholding data integrity standards
• Partner cross-functionally with internal teams to support event readiness, resolve issues, and ensure smooth execution
• Provide ongoing operational support, identifying gaps, troubleshooting challenges, and contributing to process improvements

What You’ll Bring:

• 1–2 years of experience in retail operations, event coordination, project coordination, or administrative environments
• Experience working in process-driven environments with a strong focus on execution and accuracy
• Exceptional attention to detail, with the ability to manage high-volume, repetitive tasks with consistency and precision.
• Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritize competing deadlines—especially during peak periods
• Strong written communication skills, with experience managing external or brand-facing correspondence
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office tools (Excel, Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint) to support efficient workflows
• Comfort working within systems and data platforms, with a focus on maintaining accuracy and improving processes
• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset, with the ability to identify issues and take action
