    + Detail Orientation: Highly organized, proactive, with strict regard for timelines

    + Communication: Strong written and oral communication and interpersonal skills; team-oriented, able to cascade and respond effectively

    + Growth-Oriented: Looking for candidates ready to “own” their function and take on increasing responsibility

    Top Skills to Highlight in Interview

    + Project Management & Multi-Tasking: Examples coordinating events, logistics, product orders, or campaign rollouts across multiple brands or accounts.

    + Excel & Data Skills: Comfort aggregating, organizing, and reporting SKU/inventory/line item data (e.g., deck or reporting examples for field teams).

    + Logistics & Vendor Coordination: Demonstrated ability to manage nationwide shipments, POs, vendor/retail communications, and GWP/event fulfillment.

    + Fast-Paced Adaptability: Experience thriving in high-volume settings, juggling competing deadlines, and staying organized under pressure.

    + Communication & Interpersonal: Tactful, clear, and positive communicator with retailers, vendors, and cross-functional teams.
