  • Support the e-commerce and marketing teams to ensure they have the right product at the right time for content creation and campaigns.
  • Build the future of production at PICANTE. We're in a unique growth stage so want your support to help us grow the production team as the business scales.


Supplier Relationships

  • Collaborate closely with production partners to uphold quality standards, following packaging guidelines, upholding the quality control and building strong relationships with them.
  • Proactively research and identify new factories in categories we plan to explore.


Operations

  • Oversee negotiations with shipping brokers to ensure successful delivery and check-in of stock at the fulfilment centre. Ensure all relevant information is provided to the fulfilment centre ahead of delivery, and there is no missing stock.
