Auction Production Specialist

Caring Transitions • Dacula, GA

11d • Onsite

About The Position

Caring Transitions is seeking a dependable and highly organized Auction Production Specialist to help prepare household and estate contents for sale through CTBids, our national online auction platform. This is a hands-on role for someone who notices details, enjoys creating order, and has a strong visual eye. You will help transform rooms filled with household belongings into accurately organized, attractively photographed, and professionally presented online auction lots. No two projects are alike. One day you may photograph vintage collectibles or designer furniture. Another day you may organize tools in a garage, research maker’s marks, document the condition of an antique, prepare sold merchandise for pickup, or help identify an item that should not be overlooked. Professional auction or photography experience is helpful, but it is not required. We provide training. More important are your judgment, curiosity, reliability, productivity, and attention to detail.
