Job Description
Are you a highly organized, professional business operations specialist ready to play a critical role in a global leader's high-impact team? We are seeking a dynamic, execution-focused Operations Specialist specializing in Strategic Sales to oversee and advance comprehensive wholesale business operations. In this temporary 4-to-6-month contract position, you will serve as a vital pillar for our client's wholesale division, specifically championing backend management and logistical support for their vibrant licensed sports category (covering collegiate, professional, and golf profiles). This unique contract block offers an incredible opportunity to step into a highly structured environment, leverage pre-existing operational frameworks that are easily repeatable, and keep a high-performing business engine moving smoothly. Operating under a flexible hybrid work structure based out of Vancouver, you will report directly to a progressive Strategic Sales Operations Manager located in Chicago, joining a close-knit, highly collaborative local team. ... As an Operations Specialist focused on Strategic Sales, you will serve above a coordinator level as a mini project manager, masterfully guiding seasonal timelines, supporting e-commerce image workflows, and coordinating cross-functional partnerships across North America. To succeed in this role, you must thrive within ambiguous environments—being completely comfortable 'in the grey'—while bringing a healthy dose of curiosity, proactive tracking, and absolute professional confidence to the table. Our client's team values highly presentable professionals who shine in virtual collaboration spaces, command a Zoom room with excellent etiquette, and communicate with both honesty and kindness. Because we are a premier staffing and recruitment firm, please note that you will be working directly for our industry-leading retail client, rather than Randstad. While this position is an explicit contract block designed to provide coverage for a team member's upcoming sabbatical, it opens up immense visibility to a globally recognized brand name, and the contract worker is eligible to apply for other internal roles as the assignment nears completion. If you love execution, continuous process improvement, and connecting with multi-functional teams across the corporate landscape, our expert recruiters want to hear from you today.
