About our partner: Join an organization that partners with emerging and growth-stage consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands to strengthen and scale their operational foundations. Working across multiple brands in a fractional support model, the company provides strategic and hands-on operational leadership that drives efficiency, accuracy, and sustainable growth. With a strong focus on execution, systems thinking, and high standards, the team operates as a trusted partner to founders and senior operators navigating the complexities of logistics, inventory, and scaling consumer businesses.

About the role: The Operations Manager will oversee day-to-day operational execution for a portfolio of 2–3 consumer brands, reporting to a Senior Director. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role: you'll independently run your own pieces of the engagement, keep daily operations moving, and serve as a dependable, proactive point of contact for clients. You'll also work closely with the internal order management team — who own day-to-day order processing — and may take on light oversight of that workflow for your brands, without owning it operationally.

This role is ideal for a CPG operations professional who wants multi-brand exposure, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and takes genuine pride in being detail-oriented and dependable. You should already bring independent judgment and systems fluency from a prior operations role — you'll be trusted to run your work streams from day one, not build those skills on the job.

This is an excellent opportunity to grow your career with a leading US-based company—fully remote.
