Your role is to improve current processes to make us more efficient in serving our sales field, artisan partners, and customers. We trust that you will elevate who we are as a company and as a brand.

• Initially, you will ship 2-3x/week for a portion of the day. Eventually, you will hire temporary shippers during holidays and as we grow.
• Be responsible for the office environment. (ie if the Internet goes down, you troubleshoot. You're the lead on taking out trash and recycling, but we'll all help!)
• Please expect random projects to pop up daily (ie today we're working out how to ship from Vietnam to Japan via a UPS account that we can't find the login for :)
• Bonus opportunity: create marketing content

We are in an office with 5-7 people/day with plenty of room to spread out. We are all vaccinated so are not wearing masks. You are invited to wear a mask, or not, whatever you're comfortable with.
