New Channel Onboarding: Support the end-to-end setup, catalog population, and launch phase for onboarding channels (Target & TikTok Shop).
Catalog Hygiene: Troubleshoot catalog errors, suppressions, listing policy flags, and inventory sync discrepancies across channels.

3. Account Ownership & Operations Support

Founder Collaboration: Work closely with the founder/operator to execute daily priorities, transitioning over time from structured execution to full management ownership of all marketplace channels.
Promotion & Sales Support: Coordinate storefront promotions, seasonal deals, marketplace ad setups, and inventory replenishment updates to maintain strong operational velocity.
