5617 Melrose Ave. near Gower, Los Angeles CA

Description

About Us: Busy Gift Basket/Specialty Store in Hollywood, been here for 34 yrs. We carry an array of products from Fine Food, Wine, Pamper Items, Baby Gifts and Fresh Flowers. We have a brick and mortar but most of business comes by way of our website and phone calls. We get a lot of larger orders that we need to organize, buy for, and get produced. We are a mom and pop with about 8 employees. All employees vaccinated and Covid Safety factors applied What we are looking for: Part time to start. Someone to help put order in chaos. Well, okay not that bad, but at times.... We need an assistant who can help with the purchasing duties: placing P.O.s, keeping an eye on inventory, organizing the larger orders and making sure supplies come in on time, meeting with reps who come in, handling a lot of emails, filing, working with our vendors. Also receiving the goods, noting if correct, pricing and getting on the shelves. May also include running errands from time to time and if inclined going to the flower mart once in a while (we do train in this) Because we are small we tend to not have rigidly defined roles. We do, but if we get busy it is all hands on deck and you may find yourself helping in shipping or getting orders ready in production, even picking up the phone to help a customer. This will all come in time. Requirements: Great Computer Skills including Excel Ability to span a few areas, although purchasing and inventory will be the main focus Strong enough to move boxes and inventory around and organize back stock (should be able to lift a case of wine) Attention to detail: you are spending our money, so we expect invoices to be looked over, weird charges to be noticed, wrong orders corrected Cheerful Attitude: We are a pretty happy lot. You will be interfacing with our vendors so will be representing us to the world Clear Communication Skills Willing to Assist the Owner (who runs Production and Purchasing) and help our company grow If interested here is what you do: Email a note as to why you are good for this position. Introduce yourself It doesn't have to be long Send along a resume as well. DO NOT JUST ATTACH A RESUME WITH NO NOTE, IT WILL BE TRASHED We will schedule an inperson interview You can call too but do send a resume and note.
