Wholesale Operations Assistant - Freelance, Remote

About the Client Our client is a growing consumer goods brand that sells through both wholesale and e-commerce channels, working with retail buyers as well as direct consumers. The business operates across multiple B2B and B2C platforms as it continues to scale. As operations grow more complex, the Director of Operations needs a specialized administrative assistant who already understands the wholesale side of the business and can plug in immediately across their existing systems.
