Senior Manager, Local Market Operations

Perch is creating the next generation Consumer Products company by becoming the first technology-based scale operator of top eCommerce microbrands.  Microbrands selling through marketplaces like Amazon are already transforming global retail - Amazon’s 3rd party marketplace alone was $300B in 2020.  Perch is disrupting and accelerating this space by acquiring great brands and making them even better.  We look for successful, profitable businesses that sell top-ranked products with differentiated customer feedback.  The Perch platform integrates those businesses into a scale operating company and accelerates the products to the next level of sales and profitability.  We are a key resource for entrepreneurs who want liquidity and a key partner for Amazon and other retail channels by offering exceptional products, great customer service, and great value. 
Critical to our growth ambitions is a supply chain platform that can seamlessly integrate new brands and products and enables our existing portfolio to expand into new sales channels and geographies. We are looking for a talented and driven person to execute our supply chain playbook to keep our business humming along, while also supporting key initiatives to make our supply chain more efficient and improve how we do business.
