A normal day would include:
Learning how to list products on Shopify and not on the high street and any other platforms we partner with in the future
Monthly stock takes
Potentially some purchasing and buying in the future of gift items like candles, chocolates, facemasks etc.
Support on seasonal photo shoots for new ranges
Support for data entry
Customer outreach support
Social media management
Ad hoc duties may include – making refreshments if we have a client meeting, general office support, taking phone calls/messages, greeting visitors, support with DHL/Royal Mail post – incoming/outgoing, invoice support
Occasional support may be needed on Urban Bliss for holiday covers etc., where the brands overlap with the shared teams at times but primarily this would be a Parcel London-specific role. Our previous apprentice, Lauren Bourke who is now permanent, supports both brands
As we are a gifting company, there will be an element of picking and packing, creating labels to send gifts out, tracking of all deliveries, and follow-ups with customers if needed
All of the above would have training provided, and we would start slowly and drip feed new tasks once original tasks have been mastered but above would be the ideal for someone to be managing.
We need someone who is motivated, enthusiastic, has some experience with Excel, Word and computers in general. Social media personal experience would be a bonus, but not required. Someone who is friendly, likes gifting and working on nice, pretty products and is excited to work alongside an established start-up brand.
