ZURU•Seattle, WA

About The Position

ZURU is opening a brand new office and showroom in Issaquah, minutes from Costco's global headquarters, and we're looking for the first hire on our Club Channel team. This role supports ZURU Toys across Costco, Sam's Club and BJ's Wholesale. This is a great first step for recent graduates or people early in their career. You'll work side by side with the Sales Director – Club Channel, learn the business from the inside, and get real responsibility from day one. We're one of the fastest growing toy companies in the world, and this is a rare chance to learn how a company innovates, disrupts categories and grows fast. You'll help build our Issaquah team from scratch, working with colleagues across New Zealand, China and the US. You'll learn how we win space in Costco, Sam's Club and BJ's, both in-club and online, and how we make sure everything runs perfectly once we're there. Over time you'll get to know the systems and processes behind the Club Channel inside out, and learn how to turn data into the arguments that win new business. You'll live and breathe the ZURU DNA every day.

A university degree (business, commerce, marketing or similar is great, but not essential) or equivalent experience.
Recent graduates are very welcome.
Ambition and drive. You want to learn fast and grow your career.
Curiosity. You ask questions and want to understand how things work.

Organised and able to manage your own time and priorities.
