Liquidation Specialist

Sporticulture is currently looking for a Liquidation Specialist (REMOTE)

JOB SUMMARY

Sporticulture is a sports licensing and consumer products company that designs and distributes officially licensed merchandise for major sports leagues — including the NFL, MLB, NHL, and collegiate programs. Our product portfolio spans home décor, seasonal décor, crafts, novelty items, lighting, garden décor, and horticulture-inspired fan merchandise, distributed through premier retail partners such as Walmart, Costco, Kroger, Fanatics, Target, and other national retailers.

If you are a proactive, data-driven professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can turn excess inventory into recovered revenue, this is your opportunity to make a measurable impact at a growing consumer products company.
