The role — in one line
As our Sales Support Specialist, you’ll be the glue between suppliers, supply-chain and sales — owning product content, listings, pricing and the paperwork that keeps launches and day-to-day retail operations smooth.
What you’ll own

- Supplier & supply-chain coordination: Be the point person for supplier communications, availability updates, and initial launches.
- Ecommerce listing & optimization: Create and publish listings on major retailer platforms (e.g., target.com, bestbuy.com, homedepot.com, chewy.com). Improve content to boost search, conversion and scorecards.
- Sales documentation: Prepare proposals, presentations, quotes and invoices. Ensure contracts and legal forms are signed, tracked and filed.
- Pricing & promotions: Monitor pricing and promotions, update plans, and support pricing execution with the Sales Director.
- ERP: Maintain SKU, pricing, and specification consistency across ERP and channel listings.
Who you are
- 1–3 years in sales support, e-commerce ops, product coordination or similar (startup experience a plus).
- Comfortable with fast priorities, tight timelines, and hands-on work.
- Highly organized, obsessive about details and excellent at follow-up.
- Familiar with product listing requirements for major retailers (Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Chewy, etc.).
- Strong Excel/Google Sheets and PowerPoint skills. ERP experience is a plus.
- Clear written and verbal communication — able to coordinate across suppliers, supply-chain and sales.
- Bonus: second language, experience with ERP tools, or prior retail platform publishing.
Perks & growth
