Purchasing & Logistics Assistant Brooklyn Brew Shop

  • Date Posted October 17, 2018
  • Location Brooklyn, NY
  • Category Business / Production
  • Job type Part-Time
Company description

Brooklyn Brew Shop started out of the Brooklyn Flea in 2009 to get space-strapped New Yorkers brewing. With the idea that making beer (real beer from real ingredients) can be simple, tasty, and most important, fun, we design stylish, easy-to-use Beer Making Kits made especially for stove-top brewing and ingredient mixes for seasonally inspired beers.

In 2016, we launched FarmSteady: A new brand designed to bring the same straightforward and approachable attitude to all things food (including growing, foraging, making and fermenting).

Our products can be found at Urban Outfitters, Macy's, Nordstrom, as well as at independently owned shops nation-wide and across the UK, Canada, Spain, South Africa, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, the Netherlands, and Singapore with retailers in new countries being brought on at an ever-increasing pace.

Job description

Brooklyn Brew Shop and FarmSteady, makers of Beer Making Kits and DIY food kits, are looking for Part-Time Seasonal Purchasing & Logistics Assistant for temporary work in our DUMBO-based Brooklyn office. 

Our products are sold in retailers across the country, around the world, and at the Union Square Holiday Market (starting in November). We build and ship everything from our New York warehouse. This role is largely responsible for assisting in the purchasing of required inventory parts, arranging and tracking the transportation of parts from suppliers and finished goods to customers, tracking inventory usage at our warehouse, reviewing customer-supplied compliance documentation and relaying special requirements to warehouse staff, assisting our sales team with incoming sales orders and generally stepping in where required during our busiest season.

So if you’re a super-organized, timeline-driven, hard-worker, we’d love if you would consider helping us make really cool products that we build here in New York and ship all over the world.

Responsibilities May Include
  • Light component ordering 
  • Arranging shipments (small parcel, LTL, FTL and ocean freight) for incoming inventory parts and outgoing finished goods
  • Initial review of incoming sales orders (checking against on-hand Inventory and relaying any potential delays to sales team) 
  • Label creation (for retailer-specific master cartons, pallets, etc...)
  • Document creation (packing lists, commercial invoices, BOLs, etc...)
  • Reviewing customer-supplied compliance in order to update/relay specific customer requirements to the warehouse staff responsible for building products
  • Maintain accurate records including production logs and freight trackers

It’s a great position in a fun, supportive, fast-paced environment. If you’re looking to work a few days per week in a position where you can really make a difference toward a company's success, this may be an ideal fit. The perfect candidate will be familiar with enough of the above responsibilities to be able to step into the role and make an impact as we ramp up for the holiday gifting season.

Qualifications
  • Attention to detail
  • Great organizational skills
  • You’re a team player and able to take direction, yet extremely self-motivated
  • You’re able to focus on the task at hand without getting distracted or distracting others

  • Experience in coordinating shipping and/or working with products
  • Paperwork is your middle name, and you embrace it
  • Ability to juggle multiple projects and tasks efficiently
  • You are a team player and able to take direction, yet extremely self-motivated 
  • You have experience and are interested in freight coordination, inventory tracking, production cycles and supply chain management
More About the Position
