Job description

Love technology, Shopify and AI? Want a hands-on role where you can actually improve how a business operates?

Vanlifer is a growing Auckland-based campervan conversion and e-commerce business. We manufacture campervan interiors and sell a wide range of campervan parts, accessories and DIY products throughout New Zealand.

We're looking for a switched-on, organised and motivated person to help run our warehouse and online store.

This isn't just a packing job. We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, learning new systems and finding smarter ways to work.

What you'll be doing:

• Picking, packing and dispatching Shopify orders each morning.
• Booking couriers and coordinating deliveries.
• Receiving stock and checking deliveries against purchase orders.
• Conducting stocktakes and keeping inventory accurate.
• Cleaning up Shopify product listings, pricing and stock quantities.
• Helping walk-in customers find products and processing POS sales.
• Coordinating dropshipping orders with suppliers.
• Working with our remote e-commerce coordinator to resolve customer and stock issues.
• Exploring how AI and automation can improve our warehouse and online store.
• Helping organise and improve our warehouse systems.

Who we're looking for:

We're more interested in your attitude and ability to learn than your previous experience.

You might be a university student, recent graduate or someone looking to develop a career in e-commerce and business operations.

Ideally, you'll be:

• Smart, organised and detail-oriented.
• Comfortable using computers and learning software.
• Interested in Shopify, e-commerce, AI or automation.
• Happy doing physical warehouse work as well as computer-based tasks.
• Confident communicating with customers.
• Reliable, proactive and able to work independently.
• Someone who notices problems and enjoys fixing them.

Experience with Shopify, retail, inventory management or warehouse operations would be an advantage, but isn't essential.

What we offer:

• $27-$32 per hour, depending on experience.
• Flexible part-time hours, with the potential to grow into a full-time position.
• Hands-on experience running a real e-commerce operation.
• Opportunities to learn Shopify, inventory management and business systems.
• Freedom to suggest improvements and experiment with new technology.
• A friendly, growing team working on interesting campervan projects.
• Potential to develop into a larger operations or e-commerce role.

Hours:

Initially approximately 20-25 hours per week, ideally covering weekday mornings when online orders need to be dispatched.

Some flexibility may be available around university commitments.

You don't need to know everything already. We're looking for someone who is keen to learn and takes pride in getting things right.
