About Atelier

Atelier is the forming pressure on the future of manufacturing. We help the world’s leading beauty, health, and wellness brands develop and manufacture exceptional products with greater speed, sustainability, and reliability. We leverage data, product, design, and cutting-edge technology, including AI, to connect global brands with a robust, scalable, and data-driven supply chain network. Backed by leading VCs and fresh from our Series B, we’re scaling rapidly and our mission is to reduce the product development lifecycle and empower innovation.

Why it matters

As Growth Operations Coordinator, you will play a critical role in ensuring supplier allocation is never a bottleneck by strengthening the workflows, data infrastructure, and systems that power supply-side growth. You’ll develop a deep, hands-on understanding of the full sourcing lifecycle — from identifying and qualifying manufacturers through to onboarding and allocation — and will continuously evolve our internal operating system to support faster, smarter, and higher-quality supplier matching as the business scales.

What we're looking for

Atelier is looking for a proactive, growth-minded operator who can sit at the intersection of strategic sourcing, systems thinking, operations, and business development.

Reporting to the Head of Growth, this role is designed for someone who thrives on driving operational results, with a strong bias toward execution and measurable outcomes. You’ll bring laser focus to areas of highest operational impact, while actively exploring how data, process optimisation, and emerging technologies can unlock more scalable, intelligent sourcing and onboarding solutions over time.

What You’ll Do

  • Operationalize Growth Strategies: Work closely with the Head of Growth to translate strategic supply-side growth initiatives into actionable, repeatable, and scalable operational processes for manufacturer acquisition and onboarding.
  • Data Management & Integrity: Be the guardian of our supply chain data. This includes ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of manufacturer profiles, performance metrics, and compliance information within our internal systems, laying the groundwork for advanced analytics.
  • Support Manufacturer Onboarding: Coordinate the end-to-end onboarding journey for new manufacturers, ensuring all necessary data points are captured, documentation is complete, and they are successfully integrated into the Atelier platform, with an eye towards faster onboarding KPIs through continuous process improvement and leveraging technology where appropriate.
  • Process Automation & Optimization: Identify manual bottlenecks and opportunities for automation within the manufacturer vetting, onboarding, and data collection workflows. Leverage existing tools and actively explore technologies for automation to enhance efficiency and create more intelligent, autonomous operations.
  • Performance Tracking & Reporting: Assist in tracking key operational metrics related to supply acquisition (e.g., number of manufacturers onboarded, onboarding cycle time, data completeness rates).
  • Cross-Functional Liaison: Act as a key bridge between the Growth, Supply Chain, Customer Success, Product and Engineering teams to communicate operational needs for feature development and data integration to improve operational efficiencies.
  • Market Research Support: Assist in gathering and organizing intelligence on potential manufacturer categories, market trends, and competitive landscapes to inform expansion strategies and operational efficiencies.
  • Documentation & Training: Create and maintain clear operational playbooks, process documentation, and training materials for the Growth team to ensure consistency and scalability.

How You Think & Execute

  • 1-3 years of experience in an operations, growth operations, business operations, or project coordination role, ideally within a tech startup, SaaS, or marketplace environment.
  • Strong Systems Thinking: You intuitively look for patterns, opportunities for automation, and ways to build scalable processes.
  • Business Development & Commercial Instincts: You have strong instincts for forging relationships with manufacturers and you bring a commercial mindset to those conversations. You can earn trust quickly, position value in a way that resonates, and progress discussions toward clear next steps.
  • Data Literacy & Attention to Detail: You are comfortable working with data, understanding its importance for decision-making, and have a meticulous eye for detail and data integrity.
  • Tech Adaptability & Curiosity: Eager to learn and adopt new tools, platforms, and technologies, with a specific interest in understanding and exploring the practical applications of automations in operational contexts.
  • Problem-Solving Skills: Resourceful and proactive in identifying operational challenges and proposing solutions, including leveraging technological advancements.
  • Exceptional Organizational Skills: Ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritize effectively, and maintain clear communication in a dynamic environment.
  • Strong Communication: Clear and concise in written and verbal communication, able to articulate operational needs and insights effectively.
  • Collaboration: A team player who thrives in a cross-functional environment and enjoys working towards shared goals.
  • Growth Mindset: Enthusiastic about continuous improvement, learning, and contributing to a high-growth journey.

Bonus Points
