• Technical Troubleshooting: Resolve sync errors between supplier catalogs and our Shopify store to prevent over selling, or pricing discrepancies.
• Process Optimization: Develop and maintain a "Supplier Playbook" that outlines our standard operating procedures, ensuring an experience for every partner we onboard.
• Internal Coordination: Work with our internal teams to ensure that supplier inventory levels are reflected accurately for upcoming internal projects and updates.
