Work Your Way:
At Spreetail, we believe in empowering our employees to work in the way that suits them best through our Work Your Way approach. Each team member has the flexibility to choose where they work most effectively each week—whether that's from home, a coffee shop, or the office. While flexibility is key, we also value the power of in-person connection. That’s why we bring our corporate team together in Lincoln each quarter for a week of intentional collaboration, team building, community engagement, and our All-Hands meeting. It’s the best of both worlds: the freedom to work your way, with meaningful opportunities to connect and grow together. Please scroll to the bottom of the job posting to confirm that your state qualifies for the Work Your Way program.
How you will achieve success:
- Act as a key cross-functional partner to Merchants, Planners, Finance, and Inventory by providing insights and ensuring purchase orders align with business rules.
- Synthesize data from various tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI, Process Street) to inform order-level recommendations and broader purchasing strategy.
- Proactively identifying patterns and risks in orders and leading conversations to resolve root causes.
- Support process improvements that improve margin, reduce inventory risk, or streamline decision-making across teams.
- Optimize the approval process through data analytics and close collaboration with stakeholders.
What experiences will help you in this role:
- 1.5–5 years of work experience since college (or 2+ years of internships), ideally in finance or business, with strong grades (3.5+ GPA) showing discipline and follow-through.
- Sharp with numbers and detail-oriented - comfortable with margin, cost, and inventory math, careful enough to catch their own mistakes, and highly organized enough to juggle a lot of moving pieces without dropping any.
- Strong communicator and relationship-builder - a people person who's comfortable having tough conversations and can explain complicated processes in simple terms.
- Tech-forward and curious - already using tools like Claude or ChatGPT to automate repetitive work, picks up new platforms fast (Asana, Notion, Zapier), and is eager to learn SQL and Power BI.
- Hungry to grow - shows a track record of progression rather than standing still, with the drive and energy to keep pushing forward.
