To work at Moosejaw, you've gotta have a decent sense of humor and an enthusiastic attitude. Knowledge of outdoor apparel and equipment is a big plus. Here's how you apply for a job at Moosejaw: 1. Scroll down to check out our current job openings below, or learn about the Moosejaw Summer Internship opportunities. They're always being updated, except when they're not. Which is never.
2. Complete our application by clicking here, saving it to your computer and emailing it back to us at jobs@moosejaw.com. I forgot to include a step - you must complete the application before emailing it back to us. We may or may not accept blank applications.

Current Job Openings (click to view posting details) Assistant Shop Managers, Chicago, Boulder & Michigan market I didn't go to college in Chicago, Boulder or anywhere in Michigan, but some of my friends did. When I would visit them, they'd take me to frat parties. It was a decent time.
We're looking for assistant managers for some of our shops, including our brand new Boulder, CO location opening in April. You know the drill. Our assistant shop managers help manage the shop and staff. They also have an enthusiastic, fun and positive attitude while assisting customers with sales and product information. Many of them can dance pretty well. And some have decent hopscotch skills. Things we'd like you to bring to the table: Open schedule availability A good sense of humor, a creative mindset and a passion for customer service 2+ years of retail/sales experience preferred Outdoor gear knowledge also preferred
Things we'll bring to the table: Incredible employee discounts on Moosejaw merchandise Cool work environment. Coworkers are genuinely fun to be around. Especially me. Great 401(k) and benefit package. I know blah, blah, blah. So boring. How to Apply:
Email your resume or Moosejaw application to jobs@moosejaw.com. Although we'd like to think we're psychic, we're really not. So please make sure you let us know which position you're applying for by writing Boulder, Chicago, or Michigan in the subject line of your email. I hate quotation marks. Assistant Buyer, Hardgoods Moosejaw is the most fun outdoor retailer ever. We sell the finest gear and outerwear through our seven retail shops in Michigan and Illinois, our mail order catalog and Moosejaw.com. At Moosejaw our goal is to make shopping as much fun as climbing in the Himalayas. Not that climbing in the freezing cold weather is fun but you know what we mean.
We're seeking an Assistant Buyer to add to our purchasing department based out of our headquarters in Madison Heights, Michigan. Essentially the job entails assisting the Buyer. That's how we got the job title. I wanted to call this job Partner in Assistant Buyership, but the buyers nixed the idea. Apparently buyership isn't a word. So much for creative liberty. The buyers proposed the title The Cupcake Fad is So Over and I'm an Assistant Buyer. I prefer Number 3. But in the end the only thing we could agree upon was Assistant Buyer.
The Assistant Buyer will help the Buyer ensure that all merchandising activities are properly executed, including assisting the Buyer with their assigned product categories and execution of Moosejaw's merchandising vision of both the online and brick and mortar businesses. This position requires very strong analytical and quantitative skills, as well as proficiency with Microsoft Excel. It also requires great stress management skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure. Recommended stress relief techniques include yoga, meditation and tap dancing while inebriated. Obviously the tap dancing thing can't be done at work. And please don't ask. Although I can crack my neck in three places, I will not attempt any chiropractic practices on you. Responsibilities Include: Assisting the Buyer in administrative processes to support category management and drive maximum sales and margin in assigned product categories. Duties include setting up vendors, entering data, processing purchase orders, setting up skus, running reports, managing calendars, and composing correspondence. Assisting the Buyer with development of a vendor mix, including setting up appointments, attending line reviews, and running sales reports Assisting the Buyer in maximizing vendor promotion, events, catalog and support in conjunction with Moosejaw's marketing team to plan promotions and ensure availability of products for promotions Assisting the Buyer in their collaboration with the visual merchandising team to provide stores with direction in merchandising presentation and space allotment Monitoring, evaluating and analyzing business results and product performance to drive sales and profitability Keeping up-to-date on product trends within and outside of Moosejaw's product mix Assisting the buying team with all department-related functions and keeping the Buyer informed on all necessary matters
Things we'd like you to bring to the table: Bachelor's degree in purchasing, merchandising, supply chain, finance or a related field. Work experience in a buying or purchasing related field is not required, but is preferred Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Word are required Highly organized and detail oriented. Excellent analytical skills. Strong written and verbal communication skills. I'm running out of adjectives. Must be extremely self motivated, be able to multi-task and work in a fast-paced, multiple-priority environment, and be able to perform multifaceted projects in conjunction with day-to-day activities Whatup bullet point number six
Things we'll bring to the table: Work environment includes good music, jeans and hoodies, my dog, and stuff like that. Coworkers are smart and fun. At least I am. Most coworkers will laugh at your jokes. Even if they're just being polite. You'll never sit in a cubicle. Unless you build one around yourself. Amazing discounts on outdoor apparel, gear and Moosejaw products. A menagerie of funness. Funness includes poker and badminton tournaments, marshmallow eating contests, karaoke, water balloon tosses and the like. I totally know that funness isn't a word, so don't worry. Great 401(k) and benefits package. Slightly boring so I saved this one for last. How to Apply:
Email your resume and salary requirement to jobs@moosejaw.com. Please use job code AB in the subject line of your email so we know what you're applying for. ABC. Easy as 123. Or simple as do re mi. That's all. Sales Associates, Natick We're seeking sales associates to add to our newest store in Natick, Massachusetts opening in late February 2012. This job involves sales, customer service and humans. Or Homo Sapiens and stuff if you prefer to be technical. The technical part of that sentence was the word "stuff." Moosejaw sales associates have an enthusiastic, fun and positive attitude while assisting customers with sales and product information. A good sense of humor, creative mindset and passion for customer service are needed. Like an I-love-you-so-much-I-want-to-have-a-million-babies-with-you passion for customer service. Plus outdoor gear knowledge is preferred. How to Apply:
Email your resume or Moosejaw application to jobs@moosejaw.com. Although we'd like to think we're psychic, we're really not. So please make sure you let us know which position you're applying for by writing Natick in the subject line of your email. Beantown will also do. Is that offensive? Moosejaw Models Wanted We're looking for a few female models, age 18-25, to pose gracefully in the coolest products we carry. Models will be used for in-house photo shoots at our headquarters located in Madison Heights, Michigan. This will be great exposure (and I don't mean indecent by any means) for up-and-coming models as they'll appear in our print, catalog and online material. Modeling experience is preferred. Must be 18 years of age or older. No ifs, ands or buts. Michigan applicants only. Although we love the rest of the country, we're quite partial to Michigan. Oh yeah, and Moosejaw will not be paying for expenses to travel to our headquarters. So it'd probably save you a lot of money in gas if you live in state. How to Apply:
Email your resume or work history, along with no more than 3 pictures, to models@moosejaw.com. We're very serious about the 3-picture limit, so if you send 4 we'll think you're not great about following directions. Sorry to be so mean.
Please use job code MOD so we know what you're applying for. MOD probably stands for modernization of dinnertime. Or maybe it's model. Summer Internships Offered at Moosejaw's Headquarters Internships are a great way to get hands-on experience in your field of study. And I'm not just saying that because we want you to work for us for free. There are so many famous interns who have paved the way for the students of today. Just think Steven Spielberg, Oprah, and Bill Gates all started out as interns. I can just imagine how much better off they could have been with a Moosejaw Internship under their belt. Set your goals high people. In the Netherlands an internship is called a stage. And not just in an analogy type of way. I think it's because an internship is like a high school theater performance.

They buy things like apparel, footwear, daypacks and tents. And a lot of other stuff. I'm not going to list all of the other stuff because our buyers like to keep an air of mystery.

BI could stand for bubblegum indigestion. But it doesn't. I can't tell you what it stands for because of the buyers and their air of mystery. Or error of mystery. Whatever. Buying Internship (#2) It's kind of mean to call this internship #2. This internship is like a middle child. But without the emotionally scaring syndrome. I really just wanted to differentiate between the other buying internship and this one. I guess I could've called this one Purple Rain.

This internship allows students to gain a better understanding of the operational aspects involved in running an internet and catalog business.

Our planners and analysts plan and analyze stuff. They analyze things like apparel, footwear, daypacks and tents. And a lot of other stuff.
