Our Company: Originally founded in 1975, BCI has continually evolved to become a leader in the women’s fashion industry. Launching initially with CHAUS and private label lines and then expanding into a multi-brand platform business, we have been at the forefront of market trends and the changing retail environment.

In addition to core logistics responsibilities, this position will support our GS1 program, UCC-128 carton labeling, cartonization, and factory coordination, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to expand their logistics expertise within the apparel industry.
