About JLab :

JLab imagines and delivers the personal technology products that consumers want. With our line of personal audio gear and office accessories, we’re innovating absolutely everything to make way better personal tech. Based in San Diego, we’ve been offering the right sound, the right features, and the right value since 2005.

Role Overview

JLab is looking for a Purchasing Operations Analyst to own the systems, data, and operational backbone that connects purchasing execution with Finance, Operations, Product, and our global factory partners. In this role, you’ll ensure that purchasing plans, production schedules, logistics visibility, and regulatory requirements are accurate, measurable, and clearly communicated — giving teams the confidence to move fast and make informed decisions.

This role focuses on building and maintaining the systems, standards, and visibility that support purchasing execution at scale. While strategic supplier relationships and high-judgment escalations are handled in close partnership with senior leadership, you’ll be the one ensuring that execution, performance, and risk data are reliable, transparent, and decision-ready.

If you’re a strong, systems-oriented individual contributor who’s comfortable operating in gray areas, can set priorities without constant direction, and enjoys moving work forward in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment, we’d love to hear from you.
