Job Description

Supply Chain Specialist

JP Ecommerce Inc. (dba Bare Home) | Forest Lake/Columbus, MN

About Bare Home

We've been named one of Inc. 5000's top-ten fastest-growing Minnesota businesses for FOUR consecutive years. We're a $100M+ textile retailer experiencing 20-30% year-over-year growth, sourcing premium bedding globally from China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey while manufacturing our cotton line right here in the USA.

We sell across Amazon, Walmart, Target, our DTC channels, and international markets—and we're expanding operations from 110,000 to 220,000+ square feet. We're making significant investments in our supply chain and logistics team right now, growing from five to six team members.

This isn't corporate bureaucracy. We're 87 people who work exceptionally well together, tackle challenges as a team, and see the direct impact of our work every day.

The Role

We're looking for a Supply Chain Specialist to join our collaborative five-person (expanding to six) supply chain and logistics team. You'll work alongside experienced supply chain professionals, sharing responsibilities and learning the full scope of international e-commerce operations.

This is a team-based role —you won't be doing this alone. We cross-train, support each other when someone's out, and tackle projects collaboratively. Some days you'll focus on your core responsibilities, other days you'll jump in on sourcing projects or warehouse tracking initiatives. That's the nature of working in a small, agile company where flexibility and teamwork matter.

What You'll Work On (As Part of the Team)

Supply Chain Operations

• Support tracking of inbound containers from overseas vendors (China, India, Pakistan, Turkey)
• Assist with container optimization and shipment coordination
• Work with the team on buy decisions and inventory planning
• Help coordinate with overseas vendors on timing and logistics
• Contribute to forecasting and inventory level management across all channels

Data & Analytics

• Build and maintain Excel-based tracking systems for orders, containers, and SKUs
• Create reports and dashboards for inventory movement and supply chain performance
• Analyze data across multiple systems to identify trends and discrepancies
• Support the team with data analysis using VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, pivot tables, and complex formulas

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with warehouse operations on container flow and receiving schedules
• Partner with Buyers, Supply Analyst, and operations teams daily
• Coordinate with 3PL partners on logistics and inventory placement
• Jump in on ad-hoc projects—sourcing initiatives, system improvements, warehouse tracking

Learning & Growth

• Gain exposure to international sourcing, container logistics, and multi-channel fulfillment
• Learn from experienced supply chain professionals on the team
• Develop skills in forecasting, demand planning, and supply chain optimization
• Cross-train across different aspects of supply chain operations

What You Need

Education

• Bachelor's degree preferred in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Operations Management, Business Administration, International Business, Industrial Engineering, or related field
• Associate's degree with 3+ years of relevant supply chain experience will be considered
• Relevant certifications (APICS, Six Sigma, etc.) are a plus

Must-Haves

• Strong Excel skills : VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, pivot tables, complex formulas—you're comfortable working with large datasets
• 1-3 years of supply chain, logistics, or operations experience (or relevant internships)
• Analytical thinking : You can spot patterns, identify problems, and think through solutions
• Team player mentality : You collaborate well, communicate clearly, and support your teammates
• Adaptability : You're comfortable jumping between tasks and learning new things
• Positive attitude : Problems don't overwhelm you—you approach challenges with a can-do mindset

Highly Valued

• Experience with international logistics or container shipping
• Familiarity with Amazon FBA, Walmart, or Target fulfillment operations
• Background in e-commerce, retail, or consumer products
• Experience with ERP/WMS systems (SellerCloud, NetSuite, or similar)
• Prior exposure to sourcing or vendor management

What Makes This Opportunity Different

You're joining a strong team of five professionals who work collaboratively and support each other. You won't be thrown into the deep end alone—you'll have experienced teammates to learn from and a culture that values training and development.

We're at an inflection point with major expansion plans, Foreign Trade Zone certification in progress, and significant supply chain investments happening now. You'll gain broad exposure to international supply chain operations in a fast-growth environment where your contributions are visible and valued.

This is the kind of place where warehouse associates from five years ago now run departments. If you want to build a supply chain career with real growth potential, this is that opportunity.

The Team Culture

We work hard, move fast, and genuinely enjoy working together. Cross-functional collaboration isn't a buzzword here—it's how we operate daily. We face new challenges constantly and tackle them as a team. If you bring solutions, communicate directly, and care about the people around you, you'll fit right in.

Small company means no corporate silos, no endless approval chains, and direct access to leadership. Your ideas matter. Your voice is heard. Your work makes a difference.

Compensation & Benefits

• Hourly Rate : $26-32/hour based on experience and skills
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid Family and Medical Leave
• Paid by the company Benefit at no cost to you: Short Term Disability, Life Insurance ($25K) with options to purchase more
