We've got the big names, top suppliers, and a dash of our secret sauce to make you feel like a BIG DEAL. Not to brag, but we have over a million potential savvy shoppers getting our daily dose every 24 hours.

We're not fussy – if the price is right and the quality checks out, we're selling it. That's what makes us the go-to for both the smart buyer and the eager seller. Toss in the urgency of our deals, and boom, success happens quicker than you can blink. So, jump in, where FOMO meets killer deals, and let's turn every day into a retail party!

About you

Although you may appear as a pleasant person on the surface, the ugly truth is that you are a stickler for detail, you're more organised than a wedding planner, a hunter(ess) for amazing deals, and a bulldog when it comes to negotiating. It'll even work in your favour if you understand consumers and the buying process.

Responsibilities include:

• Perform various administrative jobs.
• Help with day-to-day tasks such as following up on emails or calls, reminding the account manager of tasks to get done, ensuring the day-to-day runs smoothly and ensuring all departments have the necessary information to proceed with the deals loaded.
• Put together amazing deals.
• Conduct market research.
• Maintain and cultivate relationships.
• Ensure products are loaded onto the backend with accuracy and relevant information.
• Help the account manager(s) monitor and track suppliers to increase overall growth.
• Present deals and technical information in an easy-to-understand and engaging manner.
• Compile accurate spreadsheets and gather all required information before loading deals, attending meetings, or preparing for sales campaigns.
• Test and evaluate new products, understanding quality requirements.
• Possess a tertiary qualification (preferably BSc / BCom degree) or completed Diploma in Supply Chain and Logistics, Supply Chain Management, or Logistics Management.
• Have at least 1 year of demonstrated sales or relevant experience.
• Have a good understanding of planning and the logistics process related to the product.
• Possess excellent people skills and be intuitive to customer business needs.
• Be able to work independently and within a team.
• Exhibit sound analytical, organisational, multitasking, interpersonal, verbal and written communication, and negotiation skills.
• Be system-savvy, utilising them to increase productivity aligned with business strategy.
• Be competent in all computer packages, including Outlook, Excel (Advanced), PowerPoint, and Internet.
• Show great attention to detail, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills.
• Be able to work under pressure and embrace feedback.
• Be detail- and goal-oriented.
• Be a fast learner who adapts easily to changing environments.
• Value resilience and demonstrate it consistently.
