What are the responsibilities and job description for the Auction Associate / Team Lead position at Specialty Moves by Design?
Are you a team player with great attention to detail? Does searching through piles of “stuff” to find hidden treasures sound exciting? We’re hiring a Part-Time Associate / Team Lead to support our Online Auctions team by sorting household goods into sale-able auction lots, photographing and cataloging lots, assisting buyers on pickup day, and related tasks for non-auction liquidations projects. This role requires keen attention to detail, teamwork, reliability, and the physical ability to work in a wide range of property conditions.
This position is part-time as needed, and hours will not be regular. This is great for someone looking for a lot of flexibility, or coordinating around other responsibilities! Most work scheduled during standard business hours (daytime, M-F), but pickup days will happen 1 or more Saturday (typical) or Sunday (less typical) a month.
We're looking for someone who:
- (Preferred) has experience in auctions, downsizing, estate sales, and/or the resale market in general
- Takes client privacy and property extremely seriously and is willing to undergo a background check
- Is team-oriented and willing to jump in and help wherever needed
- Is dependable and punctual, with reliable transportation, and is able to commit to workdays of varying length
- Has experience with basic customer service and is comfortable interacting with clients or buyers
- Is comfortable using a smartphone and willing to learn to use a cataloging app
- Can stand, walk, lift, and navigate stairs/uneven surfaces for long periods (8–10 hours)
- Can lift, carry, or move items of varying sizes with or without team assistance
- Will train to master the auction process as a Liquidations Associate with the goal of becoming a Team Lead and managing project teams independently.
