Chief of Staff to the CEO
Consumers send back close to a trillion dollars of merchandise every year. Most of the supply chain still writes it off as breakage. ReturnPro treats it as inventory. We are the leader in reverse logistics because we are the only company that owns the entire path a return takes: the SaaS platform that decides an item’s best destination the second a customer clicks “return,” the transportation network that moves it, the facilities that receive, grade and refurbish it, and the recommerce channels that put it back in a buyer’s hands. The result: hundreds of millions of dollars a year put back on the books for some of the largest retailers and manufacturers in the country. None of this existed until our co-founder and CEO, Sender Shamiss, looked at retail’s largest write-off and saw a revenue line. He built the platform that proved it. Every competitor now chasing that model is chasing us. He is hiring the person who will sit closest to all of it.
Why This Role Exists
Companies like this one get built by leaders who move faster than the organization around them can absorb. The Chief of Staff closes that gap. Our CEO built ReturnPro from nothing in one of the most complex corners of supply chain. He now needs someone who can hold the entire picture alongside him, the operations, the financials, the technology and the client relationships, and then clear the path so he spends his time only where he is irreplaceable. Someone who runs toward complexity instead of waiting for a scoped brief. Someone who can take a half-formed idea, walk into a room and represent it. Someone intellectually curious, operationally obsessed and completely trustworthy.
If you have been waiting for a role that puts you in the room for board-level decisions, enterprise deals, operational chaos and executive leadership, this is it.
