ABOUT US
Inspiratek LLC is a US-based e-commerce company generating $18M+ annually on Amazon, with expanding presence on TikTok Shop and DTC Shopify. We operate 5 private label brands with 20+ active products across the portfolio.
What makes us different: we're building one of the most data-driven operations in the private label space. Our team uses advanced analytics, AI-powered operational agents, custom data pipelines, and structured decision frameworks to manage every aspect of the business , from keyword-level PPC decisions to inventory forecasting to competitive intelligence. This isn't a company where you'll be making gut calls. Every decision is backed by data, and every action plan has measurable outcomes.
We're a 27-person distributed team across the world. We operate in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment where ownership and accountability matter more than hours logged.
THE ROLE
This is one of our most critical hires. Our logistics department has more work than bandwidth, and we've learned through hard experience what this role needs. Two of our four strategic pillars — Supply Chain & Supplier Management and 3PL & FBA Operations — have minimal formal coverage today.
Here's the reality:
$30K+/month in Amazon storage fees, with LTSF as a compounding financial crisis needing systematic management
Supplier negotiation, freight optimization, and cost benchmarking remain unaddressed
Forecasting needs to mature from reactive to cross-functional — incorporating PPC, deals, channel data, and seasonal patterns
3PL strategy is nascent — needs formalization as a resilience layer
All China-based suppliers need consolidated relationship management
Without this hire, financial exposure continues to compound, lead times remain un-optimized, and the department cannot operate across all four pillars simultaneously.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
Pillar 1: Inventory Intelligence & Demand Planning
Own days-of-supply (DOS) targets, safety stock methodology, and the forecasting process across all SKU tiers
Keep hero SKUs (60-80% of revenue) within target supply windows
Build cross-functional forecasting incorporating PPC spend, deals calendar, seasonal patterns, and channel-specific data
Own sell-through rate optimization across the portfolio
Pillar 2: Supply Chain & Supplier Management
Build this function from the ground up — your greenfield opportunity
Manage relationships with China-based suppliers across satin, bamboo, and cooling product lines
Establish the full PO lifecycle: issuance to production tracking to QC inspection to freight to receiving
Create supplier scorecards tracking lead time, defect rates, cost per unit, and responsiveness
Drive freight optimization and own COGS tracking end-to-end
Pillar 3: 3PL & FBA Operations
Define and track 3PL SLAs: processing time, storage costs, outbound accuracy, prep quality
Plan inbound shipments strategically to minimize placement fees
Build a reimbursement recovery process
Develop 3PL as a resilience buffer for demand spikes and supply chain disruption
Pillar 4: Cost Optimization & Storage Governance
Drive systematic fee mitigation across LTSF, SUR, shipping rates, and landed cost
Own the financial exposure dashboard
Build removal/liquidation ROI models
Make sure we NEVER get surprised by a cost cliff we should have seen coming
Pillar 5: Team Development & Process Formalization
Lead existing operators and grow the function
Document SOPs for ALL recurring processes
Establish cadences that run without prompting
Build a department that works even when you're not in the room

WHAT WERE LOOKING FOR
Requirements:
Strong proficiency in written and spoken English
4-6+ years in logistics or supply chain roles, 2+ years owning outcomes in a leadership or senior IC capacity
Hands-on Amazon FBA experience — LTSF mechanics, SUR, inbound planning, placement fees, fee structures
Experience managing at least one 3PL relationship end-to-end
Track record of building processes from scratch in a resource-constrained environment
Experience managing or building a small logistics team (3-8 people)
Advanced Excel / Google Sheets fluency — you'll build models, dashboards, and trackers from day one
Financial acuity — you translate logistics decisions into dollar impact
Strong Preference
Experience with China-based suppliers and international ocean freight
Familiarity with FBA reimbursement processes
Experience scaling logistics for 100+ variations (color/size matrix)
Understanding of how PPC and promotional activity affect inventory planning
You’ll thrive here if you:
Treat the department’s financial exposure like it’s your own money—you don’t wait to be told something is a problem
Instinctively create repeatable processes rather than solving the same problem manually each time
Can look at a list of urgent items and pick the ones that actually matter this week, then communicate clearly about what’s being deferred and why
This Isn’t For You If
Your strength is strategy and frameworks but you’re not excited about personally pulling data and building spreadsheets—at least until the team grows
You need heavy top-down direction to know what to work on, or you need perfect information before you’re willing to make a call
Your experience is entirely in enterprise or Fortune 500 logistics without e-commerce or Amazon exposure
You see a small, early-stage team and think “that’s beneath me” rather than “that’s a chance to build something”
WHAT YOU'LL GET
Competitive salary based on experience
Fully remote position. Work from anywhere
Direct access to the CEO. Your ideas and analysis reach the decision-maker, not a middle manager
Advanced tooling and infrastructure, including AI-powered analytics, custom dashboards, and automated reporting that let you focus on strategy instead of data entry
A team that values data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement
Opportunities for growth as the company expands into new marketplaces and channels
