Bare Home | Forest Lake, Minnesota, United States (On-site) About Us: JP Ecommerce (dba Bare Home) has been named one of the top-ten fastest growing businesses in Minnesota by Inc. 5000 for four consecutive years. We're a $100M+ e-commerce company specializing in bedding and home textiles, with global sourcing partnerships in China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey. With 65% of our business on Amazon, we live and die by dimensional weight optimization and FBA fees. Let's Be Honest: We make bed sheets. Rectangles. Squares. The occasional pillowcase. This isn't medical devices or cutting-edge aerospace packaging. But here's the thing: the difference between a 14" x 10" x 3" package and a 16" x 12" x 4" package? That can cost us millions in Amazon fulfillment fees. We just moved into a 220,000 sq ft facility with plans to scale to $200M. Suddenly, those rectangles need serious engineering. The Role: We're looking for a Senior Packaging Engineer who's already solved these problems before-someone who knows that dimensional weight isn't just math, it's an art form. You'll report to our Product Development Manager and own our entire packaging function. That means setting strategy, managing vendor relationships, building systems that scale, and occasionally mentoring teammates who think corrugated is just fancy cardboard. What You'll Actually Do: Own the P&L impact: You've seen how packaging decisions cascade through fulfillment costs, container utilization, and customer experience. Now you'll own those decisions at scale-with millions of dollars riding on your recommendations Build vendor partnerships: Negotiate with corrugated suppliers, poly bag manufacturers, and specialty packaging vendors across multiple countries. We need someone who can push back on MOQs and qualify new suppliers without hand-holding Scale what works: Take our current packaging systems and make them work at 2x our current volume. That includes designing for our new Foreign Trade Zone, upcoming retail expansion, and multi-channel fulfillment Navigate complex compliance: Stay ahead of California Prop 65, international packaging regulations (EU, Canada, USA), Amazon's constant changes, and emerging sustainability requirements. You've already dealt with this maze-we need your playbook Lead design strategy: Either create packaging graphics yourself (Adobe Creative Suite) or effectively manage relationships with design resources. Either way, you own the final output Solve problems we don't know we have yet: Like how to cost-effectively package temperature-sensitive materials, design retail-ready packaging that survives FBA fulfillment, or prepare for sustainability regulations that haven't been written yet Make data-driven decisions: Build models, run cost analyses, present recommendations to leadership. You'll have the Excel chops and the communication skills to defend your position What We Need: Bachelor's degree in Packaging Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience) 5+ years of hands-on packaging engineering experience Proven track record in e-commerce packaging (Amazon FBA experience highly preferred) Deep understanding of corrugated specifications, materials science, and dimensional analysis Strong Excel/analytical skills-you build models, not just spreadsheets Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or similar (or ability to effectively manage design resources) Experience managing supplier relationships and negotiating contracts Track record of driving measurable cost savings through packaging optimization Ability to work independently and influence across Product Dev, QC, Sourcing, and Logistics teams You'll Stand Out If You Have: Experience scaling packaging operations through rapid growth International sourcing and compliance expertise Retail packaging experience (especially shelf-ready/club store formats) Project management experience coordinating multiple packaging initiatives simultaneously A portfolio of "before/after" wins where you crushed dimensional weight or slashed costs Why This Role Matters: Yes, you could join a CPG giant and be one of twelve packaging engineers working on incremental improvements to the same SKU for eighteen months. Or you could own the entire function at a company doing $100M+ with plans to double. Here, your recommendations don't go through seven approval layers-they go straight to implementation. You'll see your cost savings hit the P&L within weeks. You'll source your own vendors, design your own solutions, and occasionally get to tell the CEO why his "brilliant" packaging idea would cost us $400K in extra FBA fees. The Details: Salary: $100,000-$115,000 (based on experience) Benefits: Health, dental, vision, STD, life insurance, 401(k) Location: 100% on-site in Forest Lake/Columbus, MN Start Date: We need someone who can start within 2-3 weeks of offer Interview: On-site required Our Culture: We take the work seriously, not ourselves. We're collaborative, direct, and appreciate people who can laugh when a "simple" box redesign turns into a three-week saga involving customs regulations, Amazon's TOS updates, and corrugated shortages. We celebrate wins-big (retail expansion!) and small (finally nailing that compression ratio on king comforters). To Apply: Submit your resume and tell us about a packaging problem you solved that actually mattered-saved money, fixed compliance, improved customer experience, whatever. Bonus points if it involves dimensional weight. Send to ********************* or *********************. Visit us: **************** Bare Home is an equal opportunity employer.
