About The Position

As Kojo’s Electrical Merchandising Associate, you’ll play an important role in maintaining and improving our electrical product catalog. You’ll review product data, update descriptions, and make sure information is structured in a way that supports search, sourcing, and ordering. A general understanding of electrical products and industry workflows is key, as success in this role hinges on proper customer understanding. Experience in a distribution, supply, or contractor-facing environment will give you the context to identify common products, categories, and catalog processes. This is a hands-on, detail-oriented role where accuracy and consistency are key.

Requirements

• 1–2 years of experience in a distributor, supplier, or contractor-facing environment (e.g., receptionist, inside sales support, purchasing admin, or catalog/data entry).
• Familiarity with electrical products or distribution workflows. Exposure to common electrical distribution products (e.g., conduit, fittings, wiring, breakers, panels, lighting) is a must.
• Comfort using Excel or Google Sheets (sorting, filtering, copy/paste; bonus if you’ve used simple formulas like VLOOKUP or pivot tables).
• Strong attention to detail and ability to stay focused while working with large sets of data.
• Reliability and consistency in meeting weekly accuracy and throughput goals.
• Openness to feedback and a willingness to learn new tools and processes.

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience working with product catalogs, PIM, ERP, or procurement systems.
• Exposure to e-commerce item setup or maintenance.
• Experience in an electrical supply house, distributor, or contractor-facing role (inside sales, counter sales, purchasing, or customer service).
• Awareness of product identifiers (e.g., manufacturer part numbers, trade sizes, SKU conventions).

Responsibilities

• Review and update product information to ensure accuracy, consistency, and completeness.
• Work through catalog queues (missing info, duplicates, miscategorized items).
• Assist with organizing catalog categories so items are intuitive and easy to search.
• Maintain links between related and substitute items to support purchasing workflows.
• Collaborate with Product and Merchandising teams by providing clean, reliable data.

Benefits

• Eligible for a new hire equity grant.
• Full suite of perks and benefits for US-based full-time employees.
