Temporary Production Operations Specialist
ABOUT GOODR
We create and sell active eyewear for anyone. No Slip. No Bounce. All Polarized. All Fun. Interested in joining our team? Keep reading.
OUR VALUES: We have two core values: Fun & Authenticity.
- FUN = Being sh*tty isn’t fun. Agreed? Taking pride in your work, finding joy in being GREAT, and celebrating wins… and losses. Now, that’s fun!
- AUTHENTICITY = Focusing on being authentic over being liked. (Next-level guru stuff. Count it.)
Fun Fact: We do not allow email to be sent internally. Carrier pigeons only. JK, we use Slack.
AUTONOMY: We practice autonomy, empowerment, and accountability so that every team member can be in control of their own life.
- HYBRID WORKING: Most roles are only required to be in the Inglewood office every Tuesday and Thursday with the occasional third day thrown in.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Are you the kind of person who gets way too excited about production timelines and factory efficiency? Do you wake up in the middle of the night whispering, “Lead Time Optimization” like it’s your personal mantra? Then buckle up—because we’re looking for a Temporary Production Operations Specialist to keep our flamingo Supply Chain train on the rails and thriving.
You’ll be our behind-the-scenes production guru, making sure our materials show up on time and our external vendors stay chill. So if you can successfully negotiate with factories like it’s a hostage situation (but, you know, without the whole ‘life or death’ sorta thing), then this just might be your destiny.
