Capy-Era designs and sells plushies, apparel, and lifestyle accessories to the global market. We currently operate on Shopify and are launching Amazon FBA and TikTok Shop in 2026. We grew 250% YoY in Year 2 and are on track for 150-200% growth this year.
This is our first operations hire. You'll own the entire supply chain, from production to customer delivery, while building and scale our multi-channel fulfilment foundation.

Evaluate and switch providers fast when performance or pricing doesn't meet standards
Build and maintain relationships with key service partners
Multi-Channel Fulfillment:
Shopify (Current): Coordinate fulfillment and scale operations
Amazon FBA & TikTok Shop (Launching 2026): Set up from scratch, plan inventory, manage shipments
Monitor inventory across all channels and prevent stockouts
Build systems that work seamlessly across platforms
Expectations:
Solo operator for first 12 months, hands-on problem solving and building
You'll build these channels from scratch, not inherit existing operations

Industrial supply chains (components, raw materials, B2B manufacturing)
