About Styrkr
Styrkr is a sports nutrition company committed to developing high-performance products for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

- Produce regular status reports on open POs, inbound deliveries, and production schedules for review by the Production Manager and Inventory Controller
- Support month-end processes by ensuring all goods receipts and transactions are accurately recorded in NetSuite
- Assist in maintaining standard operating procedures (SOPs) related to purchasing and production co-ordination
