About Back to the Roots

We're committed to sustainability, innovation, and making organic gardening accessible to everyone — and we're growing fast.

About This Role

The Network Fulfillment Specialist will support our network fulfillment team within our Operations department. We have an extensive network of fulfillment centers where we ship products directly to consumers, and as we continue to grow and scale, we need someone to help support and manage these centers.

This person will be responsible for ensuring these facilities are well stocked. You will translate demand signals into a replenishment schedule, maintain real-time inventory visibility across all fulfillment centers, and flag risks before they become issues. You will be the main connector between us and getting product to customers as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. You will also support fulfillment of some of our B2C orders.

You work best when you own something fully, and you take pride in getting the details right. You bring analytical rigor to support our growth and expansion as we look to continue expanding our network to best position ourselves to support all of our customers (B2B & B2C). You also work best within a team dynamic that helps drive data-driven decisions.

This role is fully remote. If you happen to be based in the SF Bay Area, we get together for weekly company lunches at our Oakland headquarters — so come hungry. But we're looking for the best person for the job, wherever they are.

- Work with the Network Fulfillment & Operations Manager to develop internal tools and processes that make replenishment planning sustainable and scalable as we expand our network
- Support improvement of our fulfillment network by modeling network scenarios, freight costs, and inventory positioning across manufacturing and distribution tiers
