Requirements

Requirements and Responsibilities:

Our ideal consignment shop guide has experience in all types of outdoor adventures as well as the gear that goes along with it. While you may not be an expert in every category, we hope you have at least some knowledge and experience with camping, snow sports, paddle sports, hiking, backpacking, clothing, footwear, and car racks. Most importantly, we're seeking someone that gets excited at the prospect of learning more about products and gear.

As a guide at our consignment store, you'll process the intake of guests' gently used outdoor clothing and gear by assessing its quality, determining a fair sales price, and rejecting items that don't meet our guidelines. In addition, you'll act as a sales guide to determine guests' needs and help them find the products they're looking for.

Desired Qualifications:

An outgoing, friendly attitude will help you engage with guests, and your passion for the outdoors will help you promote adventures they may have never even considered.

Basic computer proficiency and a knowledge of Google Suite products will help you efficiently manage product intake, process sales, and price merchandise.

Lastly, your creativity is key in ensuring seasonal products are displayed in an engaging way. Lean on your outdoor experience to display merchandise in a way that helps guests envision themselves shredding trails, paddling through rapids, or conquering mountains. Lean on your aesthetic vision to create fun and creative images to promote our unique offerings for sharing on our social media feeds.
