Order Management Specialist

About the Opportunity

If you're someone who thrives on organization, enjoys keeping things moving behind the scenes, and takes pride in getting the details right, this role puts you at the center of a fast-paced supply chain operation.

You'll play a key part in ensuring products flow smoothly from suppliers to warehouses-making sure orders are accurate, on time, and aligned with business needs. Your work directly impacts inventory, operations, and the overall success of the business.

What You'll Do

• Take ownership of purchase orders from creation through delivery, ensuring accuracy every step of the way
• Track shipments, monitor order progress, and proactively address delays or discrepancies
• Serve as a key point of contact between suppliers, warehouses, and internal teams
• Keep all order details-quantities, costs, and timelines-up to date as changes occur
• Identify and resolve issues with past-due or incomplete orders
• Generate reports that support purchasing decisions and operational visibility
• Build strong, responsive relationships by following up quickly and communicating clearly

Why This Role Stands Out

• High impact: Your work directly affects product availability and business performance
• Fast-paced environment: Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to problem-solve
• Skill-building: Gain hands-on experience with systems, reporting, and supply chain operations
• Cross-functional exposure: Work closely with vendors, warehouses, and internal teams
• Growth potential: A strong foundation for careers in operations, supply chain, or planning

What You Bring

• A sharp eye for detail and a commitment to accuracy
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Confidence working with data and systems (ERP experience is a plus)
• Proficiency in Excel and Microsoft Office tools
• Clear, professional communication skills
• A proactive mindset-you don't wait for problems, you get ahead of them
• A collaborative attitude with the ability to work independently when needed

A few highlights:

• Pay: up to $25/hour
• Schedule: onsite Monday-Thursday
• Location: Emeryville, CA
• Duration: long-term temporary assignment (8-11+ months)
• Focus: order management, tracking shipments, vendor communication, and reporting
