Company: Stu’s Home Improvement Outlet

About the Role
Stu’s Home Improvement Outlet is a fast-growing discount retail and liquidation business selling appliances, furniture, flooring, and home improvement products across multiple online marketplaces.
We are looking for a hands-on E-Commerce & Marketplace Manager to own, build, and scale our online sales channels. This is an all-in-one role for someone who understands what sells, how to price it, and how to execute across platforms—while working directly in the store with real inventory.

- Understand what sells vs. what doesn’t in resale, liquidation, scratch-and-dent, and open-box categories
- Manage photos, condition notes, and accurate listings
- Coordinate in-store inventory → online listings
- Track performance, pricing trends, sell-through rates, and listing optimization
- Handle customer inquiries and marketplace messages
- Oversee order processing, packing coordination, and handoff for shipping or pickup
- Ensure accounts stay compliant with marketplace rules and best practices
- Help build repeatable systems and SOPs for scaling online sales
