What This Role Really Is

This is not a “keep things running” operations role.

We’re looking for someone who can build, fix, and scale the operational backbone of Afina. Someone who sees inefficiencies and attacks them. Someone who negotiates harder, moves faster, and takes full ownership of outcomes.

Afina is growing fast across our own website and Amazon. Behind that growth is a complex system of suppliers, freight, inventory, and 3PL execution — and that’s where you come in.

This is a remote position.

What You’ll Own

End-to-End Operations
- You own the supply chain from factory to customer
- Forecast demand, plan inventory, and ensure we never stock out (or overstock)
Supplier & Cost Control
- Negotiate aggressively with international suppliers on pricing, MOQs, and terms
- Continuously find ways to improve margins
Logistics & Freight
- Manage freight (air/sea), compare quotes, and make cost vs speed decisions
- Own relationships with freight forwarders and 3PLs
3PL & Fulfillment
- Ensure orders go out fast, accurately, and cost-effectively
- Fix issues before they become problems
Amazon + DTC Operations
- Keep inventory synced and flowing across Amazon and our website
- Prevent operational bottlenecks that impact revenue
Systems & Scale
- Build SOPs, dashboards, and processes that scale
- Turn chaos into structure without slowing the business down

Who You Are

You’ve already done this before in an e-commerce company (Shopify + Amazon + 3PL is your world)
You understand international suppliers, freight, and inventory planning deeply
You are extremely detail-oriented, but you don’t get stuck in analysis
You’re a negotiator — you don’t accept the first price
You move fast, take ownership, and don’t wait to be told what to do
You care about profit, efficiency, and execution

What You’ve Done

5+ years in e-commerce operations
Managed 3PLs and fulfillment workflows
Worked directly with overseas manufacturers
Negotiated freight and supplier pricing
Built or improved operational systems that scaled

Why Afina

High ownership — you will directly impact revenue and margins
Fast growth — real problems to solve, not corporate maintenance
No bureaucracy — speed and execution matter here
Build something meaningful — not just manage it

Compensation

Competitive salary
Performance-based upside tied to results
Room to grow into a senior leadership role as we scale
