Senior Manager of Wholesale Operations

Hey Optimist,
Thanks for clicking. We'd love to know what's missing in your life that brought you here. Maybe it's just curiosity or maybe it's been too long since you felt your work mattered to everyone on your team AND your workload was manageable. We're seeking a talented, experienced problem-solver who believes everything is figureoutable. Could you be our person?

Where there is chaos, you create order. You don't just like being organized, you crave it. When others get anxious, you get calm. You're the orchestra leader who makes it easy for everyone to make beautiful music, no matter what instrument they play, and you know that every note matters.

For you, data is the raw material for insights you create to change the way people around you see opportunities. Technology fuels your natural curiosity and the quest for making things "just work".

Sound like you? This role could be your dream job. You might like to know that you'll be filling some big shoes. Our beloved person is leaving this role to take on new challenges more aligned with her passion. We love and support that move and are grateful for the many years she gave us.

IMPORTANT DETAILS:

• This is a hybrid role. Our location in the Boston Seaport is your base and you'll make occasional trips to our new Factory in Hudson, New Hampshire.
• We ask some important questions during this process. It's our way of handing you the mic so you can tell us your story. Please don't miss that part and take your time answering the questions. Some find it easier to compose answers in another platform and paste them here.
• If you prefer to answer some or all of our questions by sharing a video, please do. Creativity is a Superpower!
• A human will read and respond to every application. We know that's not the norm. We save the robots for our operations team.
