In this role, you’ll own the day-to-day shipping and receiving flow for our Seattle fulfillment center. This is an office-based operation handling small, high-value electronic components (not a traditional warehouse). We’re looking for someone who takes pride in doing things correctly, communicates clearly, and has a growth mindset - this role is very learnable for a bright, computer-literate person who “owns” their work.

• Receive and inspect incoming goods; enter receipts and movements accurately in Microsoft Dynamics 365
• Prepare shipping documentation, labels, and customs paperwork as needed
• Process customer returns and coordinate with internal teams to resolve issues
• Maintain accurate inventory through good daily habits (organization, scanning/entry discipline, discrepancy follow-up)
• Perform periodic cycle counts and support inventory organization
• Maintain and restock shipping supplies
• Communicate professionally with customers, vendors, carriers, and internal teams
• Follow documented processes, and proactively suggest improvements when you see a better way

• Shipments go out on time, with correct parts and documentation
• Inventory records match reality because discrepancies are caught early and resolved
• You take ownership of open items and close the loop without needing repeated follow-up
• You learn quickly, ask good questions, and steadily improve how the operation runs

• Comfortable using computers and Microsoft Office (especially Outlook and Excel)
• Strong attention to detail; you double-check your work and catch mistakes before they ship
• Reliable, organized, and able to prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment
• Clear, professional communication and a team-first attitude
• Willingness to learn new tools and follow process (we can train you on our systems)

• Experience with shipping/receiving, fulfillment, or operations (small parts/electronics a plus)
• Experience with an ERP system (Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a plus)
• Experience with international shipping documentation is a plus

• Part-time, in person (Seattle)
• Schedule: weekday daytime hours (specifics can be discussed)

Benefits

• Pay: $24.00 - $28.00 per hour
• Expected hours: 20 per week
• 401(k)
• 401(k) matching
