Support the Pre-Order Ops Team for a company that generates millions in revenue while working from home permanently
Fresh Prints is a New York-based custom-apparel company that helps college organizations, Greek life, campus groups, and corporate clients source and print customized products. We work with a mix of domestic wholesale suppliers and overseas manufacturers to find the right product at the right price for each client, and then decorate it with their artwork, logos, or designs.
Our Product Acquisition Team sits between the sales team and the supply chain. When a client needs a product, we find it, price it, and make the sale possible. We're looking for someone who genuinely understands fashion and apparel, not just how to search a supplier website, but how to evaluate whether a product is actually right for the customer asking for it. This is a sourcing role, but product taste and fashion awareness are just as important as operational skills.
You will help find garments and products based on client requests, often using just a reference photo. You should be comfortable identifying styles, materials, and key details, then turning those into effective searches. You’ll also help check availability and suggest similar options when needed. A background in fashion is a plus, but curiosity and a genuine interest in the industry are just as important.
For the right person, this role offers an uncapped opportunity. You will be given the space and guidance to have a tremendous impact on your role.
