  • Partner with Creative, Growth, Member Experience, and Finance to turn each team’s needs into clear, actionable requests.
  • Prepare and maintain cost sheets, sourcing reports, and a centralized vendor tracker.
  • Flag delays, risks, or discrepancies early and follow through to resolution.

About you…

  • Strong organization skills and keen attention to detail, including managing multiple orders, timelines, and priorities at once.
  • Clear communication with vendors and stakeholders, and skill in building strong working relationships across teams.
  • A proactive approach, including noticing when information is missing or something needs attention and taking the next step.
  • The ability to learn new systems, ask thoughtful questions, and apply feedback.
