Cataloger

Description

The Cataloger/Data Entry Clerk is responsible to research products from our revolving inventory of over 10,000 antique and estate items including antique and reproduction furniture from 18th-21st centuries, patio décor, lighting, sculpture, artwork, and rugs then entering that information into our e-commerce database. The details to enter will include a descriptive title suitable for SEO searches as well as brand, manufacturer, and artist details. The cataloger will also perform searches of competitive products and will capture those results to enable the Pricing Manager to set our own pricing. The ideal candidate will be computer savvy and a fast typist with a keen eye for detail and knowledgeable of antiques and collectibles. The company will rely on the Cataloger for having accurate and updated data that are easily accessible through a digital database.
