• Strong interpersonal skills—you work well with warehouse crews, vendors, and leadership alike
• Ability to multitask, prioritize, and problem-solve under pressure
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and basic inventory or ERP systems 
• A proactive, can-do attitude with a willingness to take initiative 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
