Job Description
About Fresh Prints: Fresh Prints is a fast-growing, New York City-based custom apparel company experiencing rapid year-over-year expansion. We design, manufacture, and distribute custom garments, building a highly reliable and agile supplier ecosystem worldwide.

- Proactive Risk Mitigation: Evaluate real-time manufacturing capacity and production signals, immediately flagging shipment discrepancies or supply chain bottlenecks to protect fulfillment schedules.
- Custom Pipeline Customization: Lead the complete end-to-end execution of complex Made-To-Order collaboration projects, tailoring workflow tracks to match unique sales objectives natively leveraging Project Management models.
- Process Optimization Auditing: Proactively discover supply chain workflow defects, proposing advanced documentation methods, cleaner tracking templates, and automated verification loops to drive team efficiency.
- Uncharted Operational Projects: Take full ownership of ambiguous, non-standard workflow challenges and net-new cost-saving initiatives that create long-term structural value across the brand.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- A minimum of 1.5+ years of proven, successful professional technology or supply chain experience operating within a sourcing, buying, vendor management, or procurement capacity.
- A minimum of 1.5+ years of dedicated tracking history in order processing, order management, or logistics coordination, handling high-volume, multi-step execution workflows.
- Expert Information Management Command: Demonstrated practical track record building, formatting, and analyzing multi-variable reports natively inside Spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) or Microsoft Excel environments.
- Outstanding written, verbal, and textual presentation communication strengths in English, with an established ability to consult across diverse corporate stakeholder networks and cross-border vendor panels.
