Tocco was born in 2022 to reimagine how we produce, not just how we consume. We’re building a B2B platform to make sustainable sourcing radically accessible — combining the most extensive alt-materials database with the tools and editorial context that make it actually usable.
We’re looking for a Business Operations Builder — a sharp, structured generalist who thrives in early-stage chaos. You’ll help us turn ambiguity into action, systems, and structure — from supplier onboarding to internal automation.
This is a role for someone who’s operated in both the physical and digital worlds: you’ve been around logistics, warehouses, or inventory workflows enough to speak the language, and you’re equally comfortable cleaning up Notion boards or automating repetitive tasks.
Think: detail-obsessed operator with calm energy and a low tolerance for inefficiency.💥 what you’ll doyou’ll help Tocco run — smoothly, cleanly, and with structure that scales.- Provide direct operational support to the CEO and COO — helping unblock execution in cross-functional and external projects.
- Work directly with our suppliers to understand and document logistics, warehousing, and inventory workflows
- Support supplier onboarding with clear, reliable operational processes
- Own and optimise CRM hygiene and process flows across the team
- Build and maintain internal systems for tracking, communication, and coordination
- Automate repetitive workflows (with tools like Zapier or Airtable) and improve internal ops hygiene
- Be the calm, reliable backbone that keeps people and systems aligned 🙂
# 🌍 tools + skills you’ll use often
> What you’ll use regularly — and what we hope you’re great at.
- **Supplier-facing ops:** Understanding logistics, warehousing, and supply chain language
- **Internal tools:** Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets
- **Automation:** Zapier, Make, basic scripting
- **CRM:** Setting up and maintaining pipeline hygiene and comms (e.g. HubSpot, Pipedrive, or similar)
- **Comms & coordination:** Slack, async updates, calendar tracking
- **Ops mindset:** High attention to detail, strong memory for process, and fast context switching
> ⚠️ You must have:
- Prior experience working with logistics, warehousing, or inventory teams — enough to speak fluently with suppliers
- Experience building and improving internal ops systems (docs, dashboards, workflows)
- Strong operational rigour — structured, thorough, and reliable
- Comfort with low-code automation and spreadsheet logic
- Clear communicator — async, written, and real-time
> ⭐️ Bonus points for:
- Exposure to procurement, supplier onboarding, or compliance processes
- Previous experience in a startup or fast-moving ops team
- Familiarity with sustainable supply chains or materials
- Owning detail-first, no-fuss, low-drama operator energy

# 🎯 if this sounds like you…

# 🚫 not the job for you if...
- ❌ You need someone to tell you what to do every day
- ❌ You shy away from supplier conversations or operational ambiguity
- ❌ You’re not excited by spreadsheets, systems, or cleaning up workflows
- ❌ You think “ops” = admin — this is strategic, messy, and foundational
