ABOUT CHALLENGER TEAMWEAR

At Challenger Teamwear, we believe sports have the power to create confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging. We are a leading provider of high-quality sporting apparel, gear, and equipment for school, club, and organizational teams and their fans.

Our mission is simple: bring the joy of sports to athletes of all ages by delivering quality uniforms at an exceptional value, backed by outstanding customer service.

There is something special about the moment an athlete receives their uniform for the first time. It represents belonging, pride, teamwork, and being part of something bigger. That is what drives us and it is why we care deeply about what we do and the people we do it with.

As the Scheduling Coordinator at our Kansas City headquarters, you will play a integral role in keeping our operation moving. You will own the day-to-day coordination of production and warehouse schedules, balancing customer needs, available resources, materials, equipment, and labor to keep orders moving and ensure we deliver on our promises.

This is a highly collaborative role that works across Operations, Production, Warehouse, Planning, Purchasing, and Sales. The ideal candidate is organized, analytical, proactive, and comfortable making decisions in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly.

More than simply maintaining a schedule, this role is about anticipating challenges, solving problems, communicating clearly, and helping the entire team perform at its best.

If you are someone who enjoys figuring things out, keeping people moving in the same direction, and making a tangible impact every day, we want to meet you.
