About The Position
Share your enthusiasm for finding the best fit for our JAX customers, whether they are working or having adventures outdoors! Join our local, family-owned company as a Part-Time Buyer's Assistant at our JAX Support Center location in Laporte, CO. Product training, pro-deals, and our employee discount mean you can try out items in order to increase your knowledge about the clothing and workwear that we stock! Our Buyer's Assistant is responsible for providing outstanding service through making sure merchandise is entered correctly into JAX computer systems, tracking the flow of incoming purchase orders and product and outgoing payment of invoices, and checking on things like product descriptions, prices changes, and purchase orders so they are accurate for the best customer experience at our stores. This is an in-person position and is not remote. Work is based out of our Support Center in Laporte, CO and will require occasional trips to our stores to assist with staging or merchandising.
