Experience in CPG, ecommerce, inventory management, supply chain, manufacturing, wholesale distribution, or a similarly hands-on operational environment is a big plus, extra points if you already know your way around purchase orders, gross margin analysis, product costing, or inventory reporting. Associate's degree in Accounting (or equivalent coursework): this role connects the dots between what's happening operationally and what shows up in the financials, so a real grasp of accounting concepts is required.
