POSITION OVERVIEW
At Retrospekt, we restore vintage items to look and perform like they did in their prime as well as provide new products that fit under the umbrella of analog and nostalgia. We’re passionate people, addicted to the experience of analog equipment. Polaroid cameras from the 80’s and 90’s, cassette players and radios, roll film cameras, Game Boys, and even VCRs are just some of the items you’ll find our team bringing back to life for another generation.
The Mailroom Associate is a key part of our success, ensuring that incoming inventory is being processed in a timely manner and reaching the appropriate department. It is critical that the Mailroom Associate be detail-oriented and organized, and they must be able to multitask and think on the fly. Successful Mailroom Associates will master numerous duties relating to efficiently processing incoming inventory in Retrospekt’s internal inventory tracking system. These duties include (but are not limited to):
- Receiving incoming parcel and freight deliveries
- Operating warehouse equipment, including carts, dollies, and pallet jacks, to move shipments and merchandise about our facility
- Inspecting delivered items and ensuring that they reach the appropriate person/department
- Opening, grading, sorting, and correctly putting away all incoming vintage inventory
- Tracking and closing out incoming inventory using Google Sheets and Trello
- Emailing internally throughout the company and coordinating with the Purchasing team to resolve issues as they arise
- Working with mail carriers and drivers to resolve issues as needed
- Assisting with the handling of outgoing parcel and freight shipments
- Maintaining and improving the organization and cleanliness of the mailroom and inventory areas
- Contributing ideas on ways to improve or optimize warehousing procedures
