Seasonal Stockroom Assistant (PT moving to FT)

ABOUT US

Industry & Co. is an award-winning, design-led independent business in the heart of Dublin city centre, founded in 2009. Across our three concept stores, HOME & Café on Drury Street, LIFE and our children's store KIDS/Barn on Exchequer Street, and our online store at industryandco.com, we bring together carefully chosen Irish and international design: furniture, lighting, tableware, home fragrance, textiles, jewellery, bags, beauty, books, stationery, gifts and artisan food.

Christmas is our busiest time of year, and a lot of beautiful, often delicate product passes through our stockrooms. We are looking for an organised, careful and reliable person to help us keep it moving smoothly from the delivery van to the shop floor and out to our online customers.

You will work closely with the management team, buyers, and sales staff across all three stores.

The role begins part-time to help us prepare for the season and moves to full-time as deliveries and trading pick up through November and December. You will have a keen eye for detail, a methodical approach to counting and checking stock, and an appreciation for good design and the care our products deserve.
