We’re always on the lookout for talented people to join our growing team.

As part of our interview process, we request that candidates have their cameras on during video interviews. This helps foster meaningful conversation and allows us to create an experience that closely resembles our standard working environment. Certain interview steps may take place by phone. For remote roles, and at our discretion, candidates may be asked to participate in an on-site interview as part of the final stages of the process.

We understand there may be occasional circumstances requiring accommodation and are happy to discuss them as needed. Your recruiter will be able to clarify expectations and answer any questions you have.

• Handle customer-owned collectibles carefully and securely, maintaining appropriate chain of custody throughout the Receiving process.

• Match physical submissions against order and submission information, accurately counting and verifying items.

• Verify service levels and other required submission information and identify discrepancies before orders move to the next stage.

• Accurately enter submission and item information into internal systems and generate required labels or documentation.

• Identify and escalate missing items, damaged packages, submission discrepancies, system issues, or other process abnormalities.

• Support the resolution of problem orders in partnership with your Supervisor and relevant internal teams.

• Follow standard operating procedures, security requirements, and quality controls consistently.

• Meet established expectations for productivity, accuracy, quality, and turnaround time.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and secure workstation and contribute to an efficient overall workflow.

• Work flexibly across Receiving activities based on daily volumes and operational priorities.

• Participate in training, daily team activities, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Share observations and improvement ideas that can help make our processes safer, simpler, more accurate, or more efficient.
  

Who You Are:

• You have strong attention to detail and take pride in completing work accurately.

• You are reliable, organized, and comfortable working in a structured, process-driven environment.

• You understand the importance of handling customer property with care, integrity, and accountability.

• You are comfortable performing repetitive, detail-oriented tasks while maintaining consistent quality.

• You can work efficiently in a fast-paced environment and manage changing priorities.

• You communicate clearly and work effectively as part of a team.

• You are comfortable raising questions or escalating when something does not look right rather than making assumptions.

• You are willing to learn new processes, systems, and product categories.

• You are comfortable using computers and learning operational software; working knowledge of Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace is beneficial.

• Previous experience in operations, logistics, receiving, fulfillment, warehousing, production, quality control, or another process-driven environment is beneficial but not required.
