Posted on Friday, April 28, 2023
Quartzy is seeking an Order Management Specialist to support our Quartzy Concierge offering and will assist with our rapidly growing Marketplace Operations team.
You thrive in a busy environment, and believe that keeping things organized is an essential part of getting anything done. If you catch a mistake in your work or someone else's, you're driven to find out not only why it happened, but how you can prevent it from happening again. Above all else, you are extremely detail oriented. Double and triple checking to ensure you've addressed every possible scenario is a part of your workflow, and you pride yourself on never leaving a question unanswered or a follow-up forgotten.
This role has two key elements: (1) placing and tracking orders for our customers, and (2) helping us develop the product to automate those processes. Placing and tracking orders is primarily data entry, but you’ll constantly encounter new and different use cases, and will have to think critically about how to solve them, and then document your learnings. In addition, you’ll get to work with the product lead, design lead, and engineering lead of this product to help us figure out how to build automation. It’s a great opportunity for someone who wants to get hands-on and learn how new tech products are developed and brought to market!
This is a part-time and remote position. You can work from anywhere, and are not required to come into the office. Expected hours are approximately 10-15 hrs/week, and you must be available between the hours of 10am-4pm PST.
About You
You are an experienced data-entry specialist with a keen eye for detail. Efficiency & speed is the name of the game, and you’re ready to punch (the keys) through a long list of to-do’s!
