Supply Chain Specialist

Supply Chain Specialist

JP Ecommerce Inc. (dba Bare Home) | Forest Lake/Columbus, MN

We've been named one of Inc. 5000's top-ten fastest-growing Minnesota businesses for FOUR consecutive years. We're a $100M+ textile retailer experiencing 20-30% year-over-year growth, sourcing premium bedding globally from China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey while manufacturing our cotton line right here in the USA.

We sell across Amazon, Walmart, Target, our DTC channels, and international markets—and we're expanding operations from 110,000 to 220,000+ square feet. We're making significant investments in our supply chain and logistics team right now, growing from five to six team members.

This isn't corporate bureaucracy. We're 87 people who work exceptionally well together, tackle challenges as a team, and see the direct impact of our work every day.

We're looking for a Supply Chain Specialist to join our collaborative five-person (expanding to six) supply chain and logistics team. You'll work alongside experienced supply chain professionals, sharing responsibilities and learning the full scope of international e-commerce operations.

This is a team-based role—you won't be doing this alone. We cross-train, support each other when someone's out, and tackle projects collaboratively. Some days you'll focus on your core responsibilities, other days you'll jump in on sourcing projects or warehouse tracking initiatives. That's the nature of working in a small, agile company where flexibility and teamwork matter.
