Job description

Do you love creating exceptional customer experiences digitally and in-person and merging analytics with real-world logistics? A local home furniture company is searching for a Studio Lead to be the face of our Dumbo loft, a trusted guide for our trade partners, and a problem-solver for our valued customers.

This isn't just another "customer service" role. As Studio Lead, you'll:

• Be the point person for our trade program and design consultations.
• Represent the company at our Brooklyn loft and at trade events.
• Work across teams (marketing, warehouse, trade, and management) to deliver smooth customer experiences both digitally and in-person.
• Take ownership of studio operations while staying connected with our remote team.

What You'll Do

• Own the Studio Experience: A couple days a week, you will welcome trade clients and visitors to our beautiful Brooklyn loft, lead design consultations, and keep the space organized and inspiring.
• Projet Manage the Trade Program: Manage inquiries, special orders, and design consultations while maintaining brand tone and exceptional service.
• White Glove Customer Service: Use Zendesk and Shopify to handle order questions, shipping challenges, returns, and replacements with professionalism.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with marketing, warehouse, and leadership to ensure timely deliveries, smooth operations, and VIP-level service.
• Be the Data Connector: Track returns, replacements, and order analytics to identify trends and suggest improvements.
• Represent the brand beyond the studio: Join trade shows and events, bringing professionalism, warmth, and brand pride.

Who You Are

• A seasoned professional (5+ years) with proven skills in logistics, order management, or retail.
• Tech-savvy and confident using Zendesk and Shopify (bonus points for experience with NetSuite and Asana).
• Mature and level-headed - calm under pressure, reliable, and ready to jump in wherever needed.
• Adaptable - equally comfortable working independently in the loft and collaborating with a remote team.
• Solution-oriented - you don't stop at "that's the policy"; you find ways forward.
• Trustworthy and dependable - a steady presence with integrity, grit, and self-awareness.

Details

• Employment Type: This role will begin as a 90-day contract with the intention to transition to full-time/exempt upon successful completion of the 90-day period
• Upon completion of the 90-day period, employees will be eligible for benefits including:
• Significant health, dental, vision insurance stipend
• Eligibility to participate in the company's 401k
• 4+ weeks of PTO per year
• Experience Required: 3+ years in customer service, logistics, or retail operations.
• Tools: Zendesk + Shopify (NetSuite/Asana a plus)

If you're someone who thrives on variety, cares deeply about people, and loves creating memorable customer experiences, we'd love to meet you
