Supply Chain Project Manager

Our Values at Gameday Social Grit | We’re hungry, we hustle, we pivot. We’re still at the stage where everyone has to pitch in at the warehouse on occasion. No egos. Pursuing excellence | Getting better every day- moving swiftly when adjustments need to be made. Team orientation | We view our coworkers, customers and vendors as partners. Transparent and cross-functional is how we work. Boldly innovative | We didn’t get here with a “this is how it’s done” mindset. We welcome ideas, creativity and we embrace obstacles as opportunities. Nimble | Our ability to chase trends and move quickly has led to our success, but also means very little is concrete. We aim to preserve this agility as we grow and look for people who can thrive when things are moving quickly.
