Position Summary: This is an unique role in which you essentially run your own small business within a larger business. This means that you will receive training on all aspects of solving a customer's problem, from initial market research, all the way to actually shipping the product. 1) The first half of the role is product, sales, and marketing focus. You are responsible for assisting with the day-to-day management of the tasks and functions required to drive revenue growth, by identifying problems in the market place, developing hypotheses, and launching products. 2) The second half of the role is supply chain. You are responsible for assisting with the day-to-day management of the tasks and functions required to ship orders on hand, by identifying problems in incoming materials, production schedule, and manufacturing execution. The role is fundamentally rooted in extremely strong administrative and project management skills. Success in this role requires a blend of strong technician, managerial, and entrepreneurial skill sets. Another way of thinking about this role is that it combines the role of a consultant, and an actual operator. One must think and generate ideas about how to grow the business, and then also have the character to actually execute the ideas with urgency and patience. The combination of high level thinking, plus the action oriented bias of an operator is the unique mix we are looking for.
