(aka: Scrappy STEM Problem-Solver Wanted) | Dispatch Goods**

Bay Area (Hybrid) or Remote | Full-Time

We’re Dispatch Goods, and we’re building a circular packaging system to replace single-use waste with durable, reusable, injection-molded magic. To keep our supply chain humming, we’re hiring someone who is:

• scrappy (like… actually scrappy)
• super relentless (you follow up until the thing gets done)
• a creative problem solver (you love puzzles, chaos, and fixing what’s broken)
• STEM-minded (degree helpful but not required; brain wiring required)
• early career or a new grad
• excellent at something —sports, robotics, side hustles, debate, mathletes, building weird stuff… anything that shows grit + achievement

Zero experience in sourcing or supply chain required.

We can teach you what a mold, MOQ, or OTIF is.

We cannot teach scrappiness, grit, or follow-through.

You’ll help keep our global supply chain running as we scale reusable packaging across the food industry. That means you will:

• Forecast inventory so we don’t run out of bowls, lids, cups, or plates
• Own (redesign?) a circular inventory management system — sounds simple, but is surprisingly complex
• Issue and track purchase orders with factories in China, India, Vietnam
• Herd vendors, freight brokers, and inspectors to hit deadlines
• Negotiate pricing and timelines (nicely, but firmly)
• Scout new suppliers when we need something better/faster/cheaper
• Troubleshoot surprises (there will be surprises)
• Support custom orders for big customers
• Protect our supply chain from chaos, delays, and “wait, what?” moments

You’ll be talking to real factories, solving real problems, and making decisions that directly impact operations.

• Shaving pennies off of products gets you very, very excited
• You have a VERY high degree of ownership
• The kind of person who figures stuff out before anyone tells you how
• Someone who hates loose ends and loves tidy spreadsheets
• The person friends call when something breaks
• Equal parts analytical and scrappy (STEM brain + “get it done” energy)
• Obsessed with learning how things are made
• Energized by sustainability and building systems from scratch
• Unafraid to send the polite-but-firm follow-up email… again

• You built a senior project, ran a club, captained a team, started a business, or excelled at literally anything that required grit
• You can explain a complicated process clearly
• You like solving physical-world problems (manufacturing, logistics, operations)
• You get a weird amount of joy from spreadsheets
• Ambiguity doesn’t scare you—because you’ll bring order to it

Everything needed to become a future sourcing/supply chain leader, including:

• How injection-molded packaging is made
• How global manufacturing works (tooling, QC, freight, timelines)
• How to negotiate with suppliers
• How to run S&OP and forecasting
• How to manage complex, multi-party production workflows

You’ll work directly into Ops/Product leadership and learn end-to-end supply chain on Day 1.

• A mission-driven team reducing single-use waste at scale
• Real ownership, real visibility, real responsibility
• Growth paths into sourcing, planning, vendor management, or product ops
• Competitive salary + benefits
• The chance to build something that actually matters
