Packing/Amazon Prime Assistant

Job Vacancy – Packing/Amazon Prime Assistant

Who are we?

We are a small family business in the New Forest creating laser engraved gifts. We design, make and dispatch orders from our premises in Ringwood to include mugs, cushions, jewellery, keyrings, plaques and other gifts, and we are especially proud of our Christmas collection!

We are proud of the team we have here at Manta Makes and we strive to make all our employees feel valued and offer a good work/life balance. There are busy periods where we work very hard to fulfil orders like leading up to Christmas, but we also reward this by closing over the holidays for a well-deserved break.

We aim to offer a work environment that will benefit employees and always here to offer support where needed.

We are an ever expanding company and are looking for the right fit to join our family business.

Job description

You will be based across two departments with a 2/3 day split. Working in our packing department helping prep and dispatch orders and also working within our Amazon Prime department.

We have a growing selection of products that we sell through various platforms such as Amazon, Etsy and through our website and we are very proud of our exceptional metrics and performance on Amazon.

Our products are handmade here in the New Forest and some will require hand finishing before being packaged and dispatched, ie: ribboning, bagging and attaching barcodes. Customer details and personalisation will also need to be checked before dispatching so attention to detail to maintain accuracy levels is key. Orders must be dispatched asap so the ability to work at speed when needed is essential.

There is a level of repetitiveness to this position but also the challenge of completing the tasks are rewarding. We have very positive feedback for our customer service, products and delivery and we strive to maintain that.

Christmas is our busiest period but also lots of fun. You will be working in a fast paced environment where we work as a team and support each other, every day looks slightly different, so the ability to be adapt to this is advantageous, as you may sometimes be required to assist other departments. Elements of this job will require manual handling.
