OVERVIEW OF ROLE
This role will take the lead on getting orders out the door. These orders are filled with amazing resources and equipment that will transform the learning lives of educators and students alike. So we like to treat orders as gifts, packing them with love, and sending them out to thousands of grateful recipients (2000 orders & counting already!).
Drawing from our supply of over 100 different resource & equipment options, this position will ensure that orders are boxed and bagged beautifully, safely and efficiently to ensure they arrive with love and in great condition to the customers’ delight. Sustainable stickers and beautiful recycled bookmarks will be applied, and then gifts will be gently guided out the door. Wrapped in recycled, reused, and sustainably created packaging supplies, the ideal candidate will have a knack for Tetris and soft spot for sustainability.
Based on our current growth, we anticipate this role will handle upwards of 100 orders per week!
