Why Work with Us?
At Pearl, we’re not just another recruiting firm—we connect you with exceptional opportunities to work alongside visionary US and EU founders. Our focus is on placing you in roles where you can grow, be challenged, and build long-term, meaningful careers.
About the Company
Our client is a fast-growing global health and wellness brand operating at the intersection of science, education, and direct-to-consumer commerce. Built around a strong creator-led platform with millions of followers worldwide, the company has rapidly expanded its Shopify-based product business across the US, EU, UK, and Australia.
The team is lean, highly independent, and fully remote, with a strong emphasis on ownership, proactive communication, and operational excellence. As the company scales its product catalog and global footprint, they are looking for an experienced operations leader who can build systems, streamline logistics, and create operational stability across the business.
Role Overview
As the Operations Manager, you will own the operational backbone of a fast-scaling DTC Shopify business. This role is responsible for managing global 3PL relationships, inventory forecasting, supplier coordination, launch execution, invoicing workflows, and Shopify operational support across multiple international markets.
You will work directly with company leadership to ensure products move efficiently from manufacturing to warehouse to customer while proactively preventing operational bottlenecks, stockouts, fulfillment issues, and launch delays. This is a highly autonomous role designed for someone who thrives in startup environments and enjoys building systems where little structure currently exists.
The ideal candidate is deeply organized, highly proactive, detail-oriented, and capable of independently managing multiple moving pieces across vendors, warehouses, SKUs, and launch timelines. Success in this role requires a strong blend of operational strategy and hands-on execution.
Your Impact
You will directly improve operational efficiency, inventory visibility, and global fulfillment performance across the business. Your work will reduce costly operational errors, improve inventory planning accuracy, and ensure product launches happen on time and at scale.
Within your first few weeks, you’ll establish visibility into inventory health, supplier timelines, and warehouse workflows. Over time, you’ll build scalable operational systems that improve forecasting accuracy, reduce stockouts and waste, optimize logistics costs, and strengthen coordination across suppliers and fulfillment partners globally.
Your success will allow company leadership to shift focus from operational firefighting toward growth, expansion, and customer acquisition initiatives.
