China-Side Operations Partner for E-commerce & DTC Brands | Sourcing

I work as an ongoing China-side operations partner for overseas e-commerce, DTC, and import/export brands — not just a one-off sourcing agent for single transactions. My background is different from most sourcing freelancers on this platform: I spent four years as a government enterprise auditor, conducting official due diligence and background investigations on 300+ manufacturing facilities across the Tianjin industrial region — verifying business licenses, assessing real production capacity, interviewing management, and producing formal audit reports. That means when I tell a client a supplier is legitimate, it's backed by the same verification standards used in official government audits, not a quick factory-visit photo. I help clients with: Supplier verification & factory audits — confirming a supplier is real, licensed, and capable of the order size before money moves Sourcing & quote comparison — finding manufacturers, negotiating pricing, comparing multiple quotes for the best cost-to-quality ratio Quality control & compliance — coordinating sample review, in-process inspections, and documentation for compliance-sensitive or paperwork-heavy categories Production & logistics management — tracking orders through production, managing shipping method selection, customs documentation, and freight coordination Vendor relationship management — acting as your on-the-ground contact so you don't have to chase factories yourself across time zones I'm available for both project-based work and ongoing monthly retainer arrangements. Many of my clients prefer a recurring setup — for example, a set number of hours per month dedicated to supplier check-ins, QC spot-checks, and logistics coordination — rather than re-hiring for each individual task. If you're looking for a long-term, embedded China-side contact rather than a one-time transaction, that's exactly the kind of relationship I'm set up to support. I communicate in professional written English (email/Slack/Upwork messaging) as standard practice — this keeps a clear documentation trail for compliance-sensitive work and makes it easy to loop in your team. Fast response time, typically within a few hours given the time difference. If your business sources, manufactures, or ships anything out of China and you want someone who can be trusted with the details — not just introductions — I'd be glad to talk about how an ongoing arrangement could work for you.
