What are the responsibilities and job description for the Operations Manager position at ALLIES OF SKIN?
About Allies Of Skin
Born in 2016 from our founder and formulator Nicolas Travis’s journey healing from traumatic facial injuries, Allies of Skin creates the most effective products to bring continuous improvement, repair, and hope to your skin, no matter your life stage or concerns. Our multifunctional formulas tend to even the trickiest issues with the power of what Nic calls “supercharged clinicals” — maxed-out concentrations of clinically proven actives that do more in less time. Every benefit-packed product taps into the skin’s natural ability to regenerate, maintaining its peak performance far beyond what’s traditionally possible.
About The Role
The Operations Manager serves as the operational liaison between the brand and its external Third-Party Logistics (3PL) warehousing partners. The role ensures seamless, high-accuracy, and compliant warehouse operations (inbound and outbound) across D2C e-commerce and B2B retail channels. The Operations Manager plays a critical role in maintaining service levels, resolving issues, supporting continuous improvement initiatives, and providing operational visibility to leadership.
