Description:
Our story started at the beginning of the 20th century, when Carl Grundén, the son of a fisherman, grew tired of the unforgiving weather on the west coast of Sweden. He decided to make something for people with passion for fishing, and started manufacturing water repellent garments to withstand the forces of nature – keeping all men and women warm, dry and safe when doing what they love. Today we carry on the tradition of developing products you can trust. We help fishermen, both professional and recreational face any condition on waters across the globe.
We’re seeking a hands-on Operations Specialist to support our inventory management and order fulfillment processes. This is a pivotal role in ensuring our day-to-day operations run smoothly and efficiently. With an eye toward continuous improvement, you’ll help increase accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness across our supply chain by managing data accuracy, monitoring 3PL (third-party logistics) performance, and building the reporting that keeps us on track.
This role reports directly to the Senior Director of Operations and works closely with teams across the company.
