Job Description:
Help us ship orders to customers on faster.
In 2021, we’ll be shipping orders from our Portland warehouse. We decided to bring our fulfillment operation in-house because we want more control over the customer experience—better return/exchange options and higher accuracy. Shipping from Portland has some disadvantages though; we’re in one corner of the country and shipping to the other corners is expensive.
Here’s how it would work:
-wool& would purchase racking, a label printer, and a PC for your home warehouse
-wool& would ship around 200 of our best selling dresses to your home warehouse
-wool& would set you up on our WMS (SKUvault) and our ShipStation account.
Your Responsibilities:
-Receive and stock a fresh shipment of dresses each week
-Ship between 20 and 75 orders each day
-Arrange order pickups with FedEx and USPS
Qualifications:
-Invested in thoughtful consumerism and sustainable living
-Excellent written and verbal communication skills
-2+ years of customer service, eCommerce operations, or shipping work experience
-You can set up a home “warehouse” in a spare room or in the garage. (or maybe you already have a warehouse)
About you:
You're hungry for new experiences, enjoy learning on the fly, and you can make an impact right away. You are detail oriented, persistent, and an initiative-taker. You're a team player who passes the airport test. Reading our reviews (Judge.me, wooland.com google) gets you pumped up.
Our Values:
-Positive, transparent, inclusive
-Question assumptions. Experiment often. Fail fast and cheap. Learn and improve.
