About One Girl Inspired

One Girl Inspired is a tween-focused monthly subscription box designed to build confidence, creativity, and self-expression. Each box is curated around a theme and delivered directly to subscribers. The business operates on a single subscription model with no current plans for product line expansion.

We are entering a stabilization and growth phase and are seeking a growth-oriented operator to take ownership of marketing, sourcing, execution, and performance tracking.

This is not an assistant role. This is a hands-on growth and operations role within a structured subscription model.

Role Overview

The E-commerce Growth & Operations Manager will own the end-to-end execution of the monthly subscription cycle:

Market Research → Theme Development → Product Sourcing → Margin Tracking → Platform Management → Marketing Execution → KPI Reporting

The Founder/CEO will approve direction and budget but will not be involved in day-to-day implementation.

Core Responsibilities

• Market Research & Theme Development
  • Conduct monthly trend research relevant to tween retail and subscription gifting
  • Analyze competitor subscription offerings
