What we're looking for
Willing to do the physical, unglamorous parts. A meaningful share of this role is cleaning and hauling boxes. We're looking for someone who takes pride in a space that's actually in order.
Detail-oriented in a way you could give an example of. Running the same 12-step checklist the same way on the 200th unit as on the first.
Organized. You track what's done and what isn't without someone asking.
Reliable. We're small. When you're out, the work waits.
Comfortable with basic computer work. Entering data into a web form, printing labels, sending an email.
Able to work on your own. Most days you'll have a queue and work through it without much supervision.
No specific experience is required. Prior work in shipping, receiving, a retail stockroom, a warehouse, facilities, custodial work, or general office support will help you get up to speed faster, but we'll train you on everything specific to our products and process.
Regular lifting and carrying of boxes up to 25 pounds. Standing, bending, reaching, and moving around the space for most of the shift. Use of standard cleaning equipment and supplies.
Hours and logistics
15–20 hours a week, roughly 3–4 hours a day, Monday through Friday
You pick the window. Mornings, midday, early afternoon — tell us what works and we'll build around it. We'd like it consistent week to week so we both know what to expect.
On-site in Boston. This work is all physical, so none of it can be done remotely.
No nights, no weekends.
