In this role, you will ensure customers receive timely and correct shipments by working closely with Sales, Fulfillment, and Finance to manage incoming orders, resolve discrepancies, and process daily transactions.

This is a collaborative environment (50/50 IC vs team collaboration) utilizing modern productivity and AI tools.

Responsibilities include:

  • Handling a daily volume of 30 to 50 return labels for physical products that require tracking back to operations.

  • Utilize Salesforce, NetSuite, and Zendesk daily to maintain documentation, tracking, and compliance.
  • Coordinate cross-functionally via Slack with internal collaborators and stakeholders.
  • Complete a structured 3-week training program led by Tania and a Senior Order Admin 2.

Required Skills:

  • 1–2+ years of experience specialized directly in order administration, returns, and fulfillment (Ideal for an Order Admin 1 or 2 looking for room to grow).
  • Strong, hands-on proficiency with order management/ERP systems—specifically Salesforce, NetSuite, and Zendesk.
  • Absolute professional fluency in English (written and verbal) for internal communications and day-to-day operations.
  • High attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and a team-first mindset.
