SUMMARY
This position is a Business Analyst position and involves researching information online on the various product types, and product specifications, so that the product Listings Team can create listings for an eCommerce Shopify store.
The company is a retail company that sells supplies and accessories to participants of the automotive industry for 20 years and is in the process of setting up its online store. The company is located in USA.
Key Activities for this position are:
1. Researching the next group of Products to list
2. Preparing the next group of Products for listing
3. Monitoring the execution of the Product listings
4. Miscellaneous Assignments
REQUIREMENTS
Good grasp of English
Applicants with O/A Level English education preferred. The level of English used in this job description will provide an idea of what kind of proficiency is being sought. Regular spelling and grammatical errors are a disqualifier.
Familiarity with Microsoft Excel
Knowing how to navigate in Excel to enter, edit, filter, and manipulate data, as well as using formulas to extract data from various cells.
Comfortable with Online Research
The products being listed have technical attributes that affect how they should be categorized, and what kind of specifications should be included for them etc. For each Product Category, and sub-categories, the applicant needs to be able to develop an understanding of the product by first answering basic questions, such as –
What is this product type?
What is it used for?
What are some distinct properties of the product that are important eg. size, color, material etc.?
Is it used with other items etc.?
– and then proceed with determining how to organize them in the company catalog, to prepare them for the listing process, where the listing team procures the product data to list it on the Shopify store.
This research activity is key to being able to list items on the store. It is an important prerequisite of the listing process. The applicant should be comfortable with spending adequate time understanding the item by:
Identifying what questions should be asked for the item.
Going online to perform the research needed to answer these questions.
Guidance will be provided, as well as instructions and direction regarding what search tools need to be used to make the search easier for the applicant. Product Manufacturers’ PDFs are also available online, as well as saved for viewing when needed.
Attention-to-Detail
Very often, some products within a group of similar items will suddenly show a new feature or specification that does not exist in other products within the same group eg. different number of holes in a tool, different type of grit specification, a new chemical composition rating etc.
It is important to have attention-to-detail in order to be able to spot this difference, and determine if the product needs to be categorized differently, or if any existing organization system requires a new option in order to be able to categorize the item.
Note-taking habits (do not use memory)
Each task has sub-instructions. Applicants that only rely on memory to complete each task make large amounts of errors over time. Memory-based task execution is a disqualifier for this position.
This position requires applicants who habitually take notes, list steps for each process, and check their notes/lists during task-execution, so that chances of errors during task execution are eliminated, or reduced significantly.
This is a matter of habit. Note-taking is a tedious task, therefore if the applicant does not have a habit of it, they are unlikely to start doing it now, and therefore should avoid applying.
This habit is particularly important for this position as the applicant will also need to document business decisions and create & update guides for the Listings Team to use when they develop product listings.
Organization skills
This is a subjective skill, and not very describable. Suffice to say, an organized person is able to identify another organized person. The level of organization is irrelevant, as long as a basic standard of orderliness is visible.
If you do not regularly think of maintaining a system in order, you most likely do not meet this criteria. Examples of orderliness can include: maintaining a file system (either personal files or work-related etc.), organizing a schedule on a calendar, maintaining a to-do list and knowing which items are pending or which items have prerequisites, being a project manager and tracking tasks assigned to various team members, keeping updated status of various orders in a delivery operation, etc.
WHO SHOULD APPLY FOR THIS JOB
Those who meet the above criteria listed under the Requirements section.
Those have done research before and/or are researchers, and understand the explorative nature of the process.
Those who want to be Project Managers and/or Department Heads at some point in their careers. This position provides experience in business decision-making that create goals and objectives of a department/team.
Those who were good students in school, and are able to learn via critical thinking/evaluation.
Those who can separate work & personal life while doing a remote work-from-home job.
Those who are comfortable using and learning various communication and team management software eg. Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, Asana, Google Docs, Google Drive etc.
WHO SHOULD NOT APPLY FOR THIS JOB
Those who know they don’t meet the criteria listed under the Requirements section.
Those who do not have a habit of organizing.
Those who were bad students in school, and just wanted to pass. These tend to be individuals with a habit of not following instructions, and instead they just try to do the bare minimum to get by. This forces managers to work harder to make up for the applicant’s low quality of work, and therefore this type of applicant is not desired.
Those who dislike being in regular communication with other team members.
Those who know they don’t qualify, but want to apply anyway, in case they get lucky. Since we are a small team, we evaluate applicants carefully, therefore this will be a waste of time for all participants involved, even if you do get called for an interview.
Those who know they have bad verbal/written English and/or make grammatical mistakes.
Those who cannot separate work & personal life while doing a remote work-from-home job eg. interference from parents/guests during work hours, or performing personal tasks during work hours etc.
