Job overview
You’ll be responsible for customer service and product uploading.
As you learn, you’ll gradually be in charge of additional tasks and operations. We’ll train you on everything.
Your Main Responsibilities:
Customer service
Order management and fulfillment
Sales
Product research
Product uploading
Your primary role will be customer service. You’ll answer customer questions over the phone, chat, and email. You’ll give quotes, take and coordinate orders, solve shipping problems, update spreadsheets, communicate with potential and existing customers, communicate and collaborate with suppliers, etc.
Your secondary role will be product uploading. You’ll add new products to spreadsheets, extract relevant data and information about products and brands, structure and gather data for quick and intuitive usage for the team, build product pages and compelling offers, etc.
In the beginning, customer service and product uploading will respectivly take about 10% and 90% of your day. Customer service will gradually take most of your time as demand increases (mainly because of you!), and product uploading will take less and less of your time. This transition will most likely take months.
As always, you will be asked to speak about your interests. If you prefer a role or specific responsibilities, we will accommodate you as long as it is in line with the organization's direct needs.
For more detailed information about your responsibilities, read the documentation attached.
Description of ideal candidate
- Authentic
You’re known as someone honest, transparent and true to others. You’ve always prioritized relationships and doing what is right and sustainable over quick and easy wins. You actually find flashing add to cart buttons and fake countdowns ridiculous and shameful.
- Self-Growth Minded
You’re a driven person. You embrace constant and perpetual improvements and are eager to implement new learnings. You’re open to changes and getting out of your comfort zone.
Ingenuity, creativity and curiosity define you well. Stagnation and boredom scare you.
- Professional
Going above and beyond, doing extra steps, attention to detail, accountability, reliability, adaptability, ownership, autonomy are second nature to you. You find people who always have excuses and just like to talk without taking action a bit irritating.
- Proactive
You are able to think for yourself and challenge established procedures to make things easier and more efficient. If you are given a task, or a customer needs help, you follow up until it is solved, take initiative, recommend solutions, not stop or wait to be told what to do next. You don’t even know what procrastination means.
- Problem Solver
You have a problem-solving spirit and demonstrate leadership when a problem comes up. You’re able to think through problems and comfortable making decisions and taking responsibility. When there is an issue, you suggest solutions rather than asking questions.
If you’ve not made a decision during the day, you feel something is missing.
- Results-Oriented
You aim for long-lasting results over short-term temporary wins. You understand the importance of developing and implementing strategies and systems over hacks and tricks. You enjoy participating in building things and achieving goals by rigorously following a plan.
- Get Stuff Done
You’re a doer. You do what is necessary and take charge to get stuff done. You have a passion and internal drive to make things happen and want to earn more responsibilities.
- Positive Attitude & Comfortable with Constructive Criticism
You don’t let little things get you down. You always have a smile on your face and are excited about the future. You expect and love to receive constructive and respectful criticism from other team members because you know it is for the better.
*Do not apply if you’re not comfortable with constructive criticism.
- Teamwork
You’re a team-player and love reaching new heights and overcoming obstacles by leveraging collective strengths. You encourage communication with others and promote an enjoyable and fun working environment (create fun, do jokes, be kind).
