The Product Ingestion Team Lead coordinates a distributed team of 21 overseas listing specialists who prepare seller inventory for distribution across eBay, Poshmark, Shop Premium Outlets, and other sales channels. You'll manage daily work assignments, optimize workflows to increase throughput, and build processes that scale our operations efficiently. This is a hands-on operational role perfect for someone with strong process improvement instincts who wants ownership of meaningful outcomes. You'll work closely with the Director of Support and have autonomy to test ideas, implement improvements, and drive measurable results. This role reports to the Director of Support and partners cross-functionally with Sales, Success, Product, and the Brand team.
What You'll Do:
Daily Workflow Coordination
- Manage work queue in HubSpot across all submission statuses and balance workload across 21 team members
- Prioritize high-value sellers, time-sensitive submissions, and revenue-impacting inventory
- Monitor daily productivity metrics (currently 15 listings/hour target) and identify bottlenecks
- Handle escalations and unblock team members encountering issues
- Coordinate with Sales on new seller onboarding and initial inventory submissions
Throughput Optimization & Process Improvement

- Design and implement workflow improvements to increase listings per hour

- Test new tools and processes, measure impact, and scale what works
Documentation & Reporting

- Build dashboards and tracking systems for real-time visibility
Who You Are:
- Operational Problem Solver: You naturally spot inefficiencies and think "there's got to be a better way"
