Product Specialist
We here at Fun.com have the lofty goal of being the biggest online retailer of Halloween costumes, gifts and FUNwear in the world within our sights and we need the right people to help us achieve it! We’re looking for a person who loves developing and nurturing meaningful relationships with people to be our next Product Specialist. In addition to maintaining and building relationships with vendors, we want you to enjoy the organizational wonderland that is Microsoft Excel. You don’t need to be an expert, but proficiency will be one of your biggest keys to success with us.
Speaking of keys: are you the type of person who never loses your keys, phone, wallet/purse, pens, ear buds, nail clippers, socks or mind? Good! Because that’s the biggest thing we need – somebody so organized as to inspire awe among the rest of us as you manage to track down our products, follow up on POs and remember the name of our third biggest vendor’s second cousin’s wife! Okay, maybe you don’t need to be able to recall that level of detail at a moment’s notice, but it couldn’t hurt. We need the right person for this role and we hope that’s you!
