Operations Analyst; Remote

For over 200 years, Simplicity Patterns Inc has inspired designers and makers to bring their visions to life. Now, we’re entering an exciting new era, and we’re honoring the Simplicity legacy while reimagining what’s possible for the next generation of creators.

Recently spun off from a larger holding group, Simplicity Patterns Inc is now independently owned by its leadership team - the same entrepreneurs who transformed Backstage from a legacy print publication into a profitable digital marketplace. Our brands include familiar and emerging names in the pattern making space, including Simplicity, McCall’s, Butterick, Vogue Patterns, Know Me, New Look, and Burda Style.

Together, we’re investing in every aspect of the business: modernizing our technology, improving the infrastructure, and building a flat culture where good ideas win, initiative is rewarded, and talented people can make a real impact.

We are seeking a technical Operations Analyst who wants to be part of the exciting and evolving legacy at Simplicity! You’ll be joining our Operations team, which includes a Production Supervisor and the Director of Operations & Business Analytics. While our team is small, we work with every other team in the company every single day. We partner with finance to build budgets and plans, assist product development in executing new SKU implementation, and provide the data that supports our marketing strategy.

We are resourceful problem-solvers who take initiative, balance competing priorities effectively, and keep the engine of the company running smoothly.

As our Operations Analyst, you will help create and improve the processes that underwrite operational excellence across the organization. You will manage our ERP and e-commerce systems, analyze and cleanse data to support decision making, and troubleshoot operational issues. This is an exciting new role for the company and provides the opportunity to make a real impact on the future of Simplicity!
