Receiving & Storage Warehouse Associate

This role is all about keeping our warehouse running smoothly and our projects set up for success. As our Receiving & Storage Warehouse Associate, you’ll be responsible for receiving, inspecting, organizing, and storing furniture, lighting, rugs, décor, and custom pieces for high-end interior design projects. Your work protects the quality of every item and makes sure installs and deliveries go off without a hitch.

If you like working with your hands, staying active, and having your own space and responsibilities, this could be a great fit. This is a mostly independent role where you can put on your headphones, stay organized, and take ownership of the warehouse. You’ll be moving real, tangible items (not sitting at a desk all day), keeping everything clean and in order, and making sure nothing gets damaged or misplaced.

This job is ideal for someone who takes pride in doing things right, doesn’t mind physical work, and likes knowing that their behind-the-scenes effort directly supports beautiful finished spaces—even if you’re not the one installing them.
