Overview
Retail Sales and Website Associate Jobs in Petoskey, MI at Bearcub Outfitters
Bearcub Outfitters is looking for a friendly, detail-oriented, tech-comfortable person to join our team in a unique full-time position that combines retail sales with e-commerce and website product management.
This is a great position for someone who enjoys working with people, is very comfortable using computers, and likes the idea of working for a locally owned outdoor store.
What You’ll Do
You’ll spend approximately 3–4 shifts each week working on our sales floor, where you’ll:
- Help customers find the right products
- Learn about the outdoor clothing, footwear and gear we sell
- Work closely with the rest of the Bearcub team
- Help keep the store organized, stocked and looking great
- Become familiar with our products, brands and customers
The remainder of your workweek will generally be spent working on our website. Responsibilities will include:
- Adding and publishing products to our website
- Entering and maintaining product information
- Finding and organizing product descriptions and images
- Checking product information for accuracy
- Keeping online products organized and up to date
- Learning and working within our point-of-sale and website systems
- Helping with other computer-based projects as needed
The sales floor portion of this job is important. We want the person managing our products online to actually know our store and merchandise — to have seen the products, touched them, talked about them with customers, and understand why we sell them.
Who We’re Looking For
You do not need previous e-commerce experience, but you do need to be someone who is comfortable with technology and learns new computer systems quickly.
Our ideal candidate is:
- Extremely comfortable using computers and web-based applications
- Detail-oriented and accurate
- Organized and able to work independently
- Comfortable learning new software and systems
- Friendly and confident working with customers
- A good communicator and team member
- Willing to ask questions and learn
- Able to switch comfortably between customer-facing work and focused computer work
- Interested in outdoor clothing, footwear and gear
Experience with retail, e-commerce, website management, Microsoft Teams, point-of-sale systems, product data entry, photography or digital marketing is a plus, but not required.
