Job DescriptionJob Description

Inventory + Ordering Coordinator Mission

The Inventory & Ordering Coordinator is a hybrid, part-time role dedicated to keeping our Apothecary stocked and organized. You’ll track inventory, manage vendor orders, and maintain product accuracy in our systems—so our on-site staff can focus on blending, labeling, and serving clients.

This is not a client-facing role. Instead, you’ll thrive in spreadsheets, ordering systems, and detail-tracking, ensuring our Apothecary runs smoothly and efficiently.

This role is the data systems counterpart to the Apothecary Production Coordinator, and together these positions keep the Apothecary running efficiently and effectively.
