Assistant Shop Manager, Birmingham

Birmingham has three syllables. Sort of like Idaho, but with more letters. We're looking for an assistant manager for our Birmingham, Michigan shop to help manage stuff. By stuff I mean the shop, the employees, and the 11 pound watermelon we're growing in the back room. Our assistant managers have an enthusiastic, fun and positive attitude while assisting customers with sales and product information. Many of them have impressive jump roping skills and some can sing the alphabet backwards. I've been told those people are smarter than me. Whatever.

Things we’d like you to bring to the table:
  • Open schedule availability.
  • Sense of humor, creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.
  • 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 to jobs@moosejaw.com. Please make sure you let us know which position you’re applying for by using job code BHAM in the subject line of your email.

     

    Internet Marketing Assistant

    We're seeking a full-time Internet Marketing Assistant to add to our headquarters located in Madison Heights, Michigan. This position involves the internet and also marketing, which go together very well like peanut butter, banana and bacon. I hope you didn't think I was going to say peanut butter and jelly. Actually I do hope you thought that and then were pleasantly surprised. Surprise.

    The Internet Marketing Assistant is responsible for maintaining, reporting, and analyzing internet marketing programs. The ideal candidate will have at least 1 year of ecommerce marketing experience, with knowledge of online marketing techniques such as affiliate marketing, comparison shopping engines, pay-per-click advertising, and search engine optimization. While in-depth knowledge of every area is not required, the candidate must have a working knowledge of internet marketing and be a very fast learner. Like a super-fast-lightning-speed learner.

    Responsibilities Include:
  • Assisting with paid search, including creating effective ad copy, gathering reports, and identifying areas for improvement
  • Assisting with Comparison Shopping Engine (CSE) programs, including managing daily data feeds and updating campaigns based on ROI
  • Assisting with Search Engine Optimization (SEO), including developing keyword lists and creating SEO-friendly content for our website
  • Writing ad copy, gathering new keywords and assisting with keyword discovery
  • Analyzing the competitive marketplace, including monitoring competitor websites and promotions
  • Creating daily, weekly and monthly reports on all internet advertising channels
  • Using Coremetrics analytics software to optimize Moosejaw's landing pages and improve conversion rates across all advertising channels
  • Maintaining and submitting vendor funds used to push a brand in marketing channels (co-op)
  • Assisting the marketing team with all department-related functions

    Things we'd like you to bring to the table:
  • Bachelor's degree, preferably in marketing or business
  • Minimum of 1 year experience managing and analyzing online marketing campaigns
  • Online consumer retail experience is highly preferred over business-to-business and general brand advertising experience
  • Highly proficient in MS Excel including use of formulas, lookups, etc.
  • Ability to analyze numerical data to develop and support marketing decisions
  • Highly organized and detail oriented. Strong work ethic with high personal initiative. The personal initiative thing wasn't my idea but I like it.
  • Ability to work well with a wide range of disciplines from ad agencies to web developers
  • Ability to strike the appropriate balance between working independently and keeping the supervisor informed
  • Ability to perform multifaceted projects in conjunction with day-to-day activities. If you can juggle, while riding a unicycle, while dressed like a clown, you should be in a circus. But this might also be a good job for you.

    Things we'll bring to the table:
  • Great 401 (k) plan and benefits package. Sorry I had to write that even though it's boring.
  • Casual dress code. Very casual. Like jeans, t-shirts and sneakers. I used the word sneakers instead of gym shoes because I like it better. Just in case you were wondering.
  • Coworkers who will laugh at your jokes. Even if they're just being polite.
  • Cubicle-free work environment. However, you are encouraged to build a fort around you using couch cushions, pillows and blankets from your mom's house.
  • Rock Band contests, pool tournaments, field days and good music. Oh and a karaoke initiation into the marketing team.
  • Amazing discounts on outdoor apparel, gear and Moosejaw products

    How to Apply:
    Email your resume and salary requirement to jobs@moosejaw.com. Please use job code IMA in the subject line of your email so we know what you're applying for. IMA probably stands for integrated munchkin anxiety. The doughnut holes, not the people from The Wizard of Oz.

     

    IT / Ecommerce Project Manager

    We're seeking an experienced, e-commerce oriented IT Project Manager to lead projects from conception to completion and beyond. I'm not sure what's beyond completion but it sounds mysterious. Like the disappearance of Tinkerbell Hilton. At Moosejaw we have a pretty small IT team, so the ideal candidate will be comfortable wearing many hats. Both literally and figuratively. Although preferably the ideal candidate will enjoy a nice fedora from time to time. In addition to the hat thing, we're really looking for a functional project manager who also has the technical, hands-on experience to fill other IT rolls as needed. This position requires excellent problem solving skills. It's based out of our headquarters in Madison Heights, Michigan.

    Responsibilities Include:
  • Managing day-to-day operational aspects of IT projects and scope, including working with internal business units to define project scope. Units may mean people, but I'm not really sure.

  • Identifying resources needed for project completion and assigning individual responsibilities on a task-by-task basis

  • PMP or related certification preferred
  • MS Project experience preferred

    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.

    Email your resume and salary requirement to jobs@moosejaw.com. Please use job code IT in the subject line of your email so we know what you're applying for. Thank you and good night.

    We're seeking a Merchandise Planner to support our planning and buying team in the everyday needs of analyzing, forecasting and managing day-to-day operations of both the online and brick and mortar businesses.

  • Working in conjunction with buyers to manage the assigned product categories

  • 3 - 5 years of experience as a merchandise planner or merchandise analyst in a retail environment
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Access. Prior experience with VBA/SQL is preferred.
  • Ridiculously amazing analytical and statistical skills. So repetitive. Sorry.
  • General curiosity for complex problem solving, as well as proven report generating abilities. I have no idea what that means, but they made me write it.
  • Really great organizational skills. If you like to color code your closet, alphabetize your CDs and always know where your keys are, people might think you're strange, but we think you're well structured.
  • Good communication skills and the ability to multi-task and work in a fast-paced, team environment. A witty sense of humor also helps.

    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.

    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.
