The Accessories team is building something from scratchdozens of products, a fast-moving portfolio, and a lean team that doesn't have time to chase its own tail. We need someone who's been around enough to know what's about to slip through the cracks before it doesand scrappy enough to catch it. As our Accessories Coordinator, you'll be the operational backbone of the team: tracking parts, coordinating builds, managing samples, wrangling schedules, taking notes so people can focus during meetings, and making sure Product Managers aren't burning hours on logistics when they should be building.

You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, communicate clearly, and you actually like herding cats.

• Exposure to procurement, PLM, or ERP systems is a plusyou don't need to be the buyer, but knowing how to track and follow up in those systems matters
• Experience coordinating with suppliers, vendors, or cross-functional partnersyou know how to follow up without being annoying and push for timelines without burning bridges
• Polished, professional, and composed in any roombut wired to get stuff done, not just to look organized
