About Fishs Eddy
Fishs Eddy is not just a brand—it’s a way of thinking. We are built on humor, authenticity, and a passion for great design. We create unique, high-quality housewares and tabletop products with a distinct personality that resonates with our customers. Our team is a close-knit group of thinkers, doers, and creatives who embody our core values every day.
About the Role:
This role supports the operational engine behind our product assortment. We are looking for someone who is exceptionally organized, detail obsessed, and comfortable working inside systems, spreadsheets, and supplier communication threads to keep product information accurate and moving forward.
The Item Setup & Sourcing Coordinator helps carry products from finalized design through supplier quoting, sample tracking, and item setup in our ERP. This person is not responsible for the creative direction of product development, but plays a critical role in making sure the information, documentation, and handoff to purchasing are clean, complete, and actionable.
This is a role for someone who loves process, enjoys keeping many moving pieces organized, and takes real pride in getting the details right.
Key Responsibilities:
Item Setup & Data Management
• Create and maintain new item records in the ERP system
• Enter product specifications, materials, dimensions, packaging details, and related data
• Ensure all product information is complete, accurate, and organized
• Maintain clean digital records and supporting documentation for each product
Supplier RFQ Process
• Send Requests for Quote (RFQs) to approved suppliers once designs are finalized
• Collect, organize, and maintain supplier price quotes and quote history
• Track supplier lead times, minimum order quantities, and other key sourcing information
• Help ensure costing inputs are current and clearly documented
Sample Coordination
• Request development and production samples from suppliers
• Track sample timelines and follow up with suppliers to keep projects moving
• Coordinate internal sample review with the design team
• Record feedback and communicate revisions or approvals back to suppliers
Cross-Team Coordination
• Work closely with Design, Operations, Buying, and Finance to ensure information is accurate and complete
• Help keep the flow of information moving smoothly between teams
• Ensure all required details are in place before items move to purchasing
Product Handoff to Purchasing
• Prepare finalized item records for handoff to the Buyer
• Confirm approved supplier, cost, and specifications are clearly documented
• Support a clean transition from item setup into purchase order creation
What You Bring:
• Strong organizational and administrative skills, with exceptional attention to detail
• Comfort managing spreadsheets, data systems, and product information across multiple projects
• Comfort working inside ERP systems; experience with systems such as NetSuite, SAP, or Sage Intacct is a plus
• Strong communication skills when working with suppliers and internal teams
• A process-oriented mindset and a willingness to follow structured workflows
Why Fishs Eddy?
We’ve been doing this forever—and we’re just getting started. Our flagship at 19th & Broadway is iconic, and our new Brooklyn location is the next big step. Join a small but mighty team bringing creative retail back to NYC, one dish (and one bottomless coffee) at a time.
