Receive and document returns and make sure they are directed to the appropriate person for follow-up.
Help troubleshoot shipping problems, damaged shipments, incorrect deliveries, and other issues as they arise.
Help keep shipping and loading areas organized and prepared for upcoming shipments.
Help monitor shipping supplies and communicate when materials need to be reordered.
What We Are Looking For:
We are looking for someone who is:
Organized and able to keep track of multiple shipments and deadlines at once.
Detail-oriented, particularly when working with inventory, addresses, paperwork, and shipment information.
Able to communicate clearly with coworkers, shipping companies, galleries, and other business contacts.
Comfortable using computers, email, shipping software, and internal databases.
Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
Hands-on and comfortable with the physical aspects of shipping.
