We are looking for an experienced Purchasing and Inventory Analyst to join the team! In this role, you will be responsible for analyzing and optimizing our purchasing and inventory management processes to ensure efficient and cost-effective operations. Your primary focus will be on forecasting demand, monitoring inventory levels, and coordinating with suppliers to ensure timely delivery of goods.

At Powerplay, we don’t just keep up with change—we run straight ’re a team of retail and e-commerce experts that blend deep retail know-how with startup-level energy. We bring fresh ideas, sharp execution, and serious results to brands ready to scale. From strategy to shelf (and screen), we fast-track timelines, open new channels, and fuel brand growth like it’s our job—because it is.

We work with big-name brands you know, love, and probably have in your cart right now. From beauty to tech, toys to lifestyle, we partner with household names and niche brands alike, helping them scale with the biggest players in retail.

We’re proud to be a top Amazon reseller with no plans on slowing down.

Our crew? A tight-knit team with 250+ years of combined experience and a shared obsession with what’s next. We work smart, move fast, and actually like each other. Titles take a backseat to action. We believe great ideas come from everywhere, and our culture reflects that—collaborative, creative, and a little bit scrappy in the best way.

We’re privately held and deeply rooted in doing great work with great people. We enjoy our weekly happy hours, the occasional potluck, and genuinely care about giving back—volunteering and supporting causes that matter to our team and community.

Everyone’s voice matters, ideas fly fast, and no one’s afraid to roll up their sleeves. We take pride in what we do, who we do it for, and the way we do it. The future of retail? We’re already on it.
