  • Shadow and assist our logistics and supply chain team to understand critical operations.
  • Research and organize inactive customer accounts by geographic regions to identify new opportunities.
  • Observe and participate in inventory management processes.
  • Respond to inquiries from potential customers and support credit application reviews.
