## About the role

We're looking for a Sports Operations Associate to support our growing sports card acquisition operation. Reporting directly to the Sports Card Sourcing Manager, this role is hands-on and detail-oriented, handling everything from raw card research and grading submissions to batch administration, dealer support, and inventory management. You'll be the operational backbone of the sourcing team, keeping pipelines moving and inventory flowing.

## What they're looking for

- Project manage the weekly sports drops, partnering with the marketing team on scheduling and promotion to ensure a smooth, on-time launch
- Source raw sports cards across marketplaces (eBay, COMC, Whatnot, card shows, LCS) — evaluating condition, tracking comps, and negotiating with sellers
- Prepare and manage grading submissions: pre-screening cards, selecting service tiers, tracking pipeline status, and reconciling returned grades
- Create and administer batches, monitor for discrepancies, and resolve same-day to keep processing on track
- Support dealers and the pricing team with pricing requests, FMV analysis, and dealer sheet audits
- Scan incoming inventory, pack boxes, coordinate carrier pickups, and maintain shipping logs
