About Faire

About this role

We’re looking for a strong operator to help scale and execute brand onboarding and inbound process for Fulfilled by Faire (FbF). In this role, you’ll own the end-to-end brand onboarding process — from the moment brands join FbF through activation — and be accountable for the key performance indicators that drive brand success and program growth.

You’ll operate at the center of the onboarding experience, serving as the primary point of coordination between Faire, brands, and warehouse partners to ensure brands get live quickly and are set up for long-term success. This role requires strong execution, sound business judgment, comfort operating in ambiguity, and the ability to solve complex problems through influence rather than authority.

As the program scales, you’ll partner closely with Product, Fulfillment, and CX teams to reduce onboarding time, streamline processes, and help define product roadmap priorities that remove friction and enable brands to activate faster. You’ll leverage data and operational insights to anticipate risks, identify qualitative issues early, and continuously improve onboarding workflows at scale.

What you’ll do

Own inventory inbound and exception process throughout entire brand lifecycle
Own the end-to-end onboarding experience for brands joining Fulfilled by Faire, from initial kickoff through activation and post-launch stabilization
Serve as the primary point of communication between Faire, brands, and warehouse partners to ensure operational readiness and alignment
Track onboarding progress across multiple workstreams, proactively identifying risks, delays, and quality issues
Leverage data and operational metrics to anticipate qualitative issues and drive informed decision-making
Partner cross-functionally with Product, Fulfillment, and CX teams to resolve issues and improve onboarding workflows
Influence outcomes without direct authority while balancing brand needs with operational constraints
Contribute to the continuous improvement of onboarding processes, documentation, and internal tooling
Support brands post-onboarding to ensure ongoing success and a high-quality fulfillment experience

Strong business acumen
Experience working directly with brands, merchants, or partners across a variety of roles and seniority levels
