Role summary

Squishable is seeking a Seasonal Retail Stock Lead for their Woodfield Mall location. This role is responsible for maintaining an organized stock room, ensuring efficient product replenishment, and supporting the sales team during the busy holiday season. Key duties include managing incoming/outbound shipments, keeping products organized and easy to locate, and performing opening/closing tasks. The ideal candidate is highly organized, methodical, comfortable working independently at pace, and possesses excellent time-management and attention to detail.

With the millions-strong Squishable fan community cheering us on (and a lot of cupcakes, coffee, and karaoke) we make people say “awww.” Our offices are in a sunny loft in NYC's Flatiron District and in downtown Washington, DC.

WHO ARE WE?
