What You’ll Do
Brand Management (Inventory-First)

- Calculate and maintain reorder points/safety stock using lead times and MOQ.
- Raise POs, follow up with suppliers, and coordinate inbound logistics and receiving.
- Track cost prices, landed costs, and margin; propose price or pack-size updates.
- Clear slow/aging stock via promos, bundles, platform deals, and targeted campaigns.
Channel Management (Marketplace & DTC)
- Launch and maintain high-quality listings on Lazada, Shopee, TikTok Shop, and/or Shopify.
- Execute promo calendars, bundles, and vouchers; coordinate with platform reps.
- Coordinate with platform reps and affiliate partners.
- Run and optimize ads (basic targeting, budgets, daily pacing, ROAS/ACOS tracking).
- Maintain storefront hygiene: ratings, Q&A, chat SLAs, return reasons, and buyer experience.
- Weekly reporting: traffic, conversion, basket size, ad spend efficiency, and bestsellers.
- Shared: Consolidate weekly dashboards and call out risks/opportunities (OOS, overstock, margin dips, ad efficiency).
Rewards & Perks

About You
- Experience: At least 3 years in hands-on e-commerce operations (listings, ads, customer service on Lazada/Shopee/TikTok/Shopify) or procurement/supply chain (inventory control, supplier negotiations, purchasing). You’ve executed strategies yourself—not just supervised. Retail/consumer goods is a plus.
- TikTok/TikTok Live Expertise: Demonstrated track record in managing campaigns, optimizing performance, and driving growth through TikTok/TikTok Live.
- Inventory Skills: Can forecast at a basic level, track stock cover, time reorders, and manage slow movers. Comfortable with lead times, MOQ, and PO follow-through.

- Mindset: Owner mentality, detail-oriented, and adaptable in a start-up environment.
- Passion: E-commerce enthusiast; interest in the pet category is a plus.
- Languages: Fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
- Education: Numerical degree (accounting/finance/economics) or proven number-crunching ability.
