Steph's Notes:

There is no real Careers page, just a page listing open jobs.

Why in god's name is the font in this job description so small? This screenshot was taken at 100% zoom (and believe me when I say this image actually makes the font in the original JD look BIGGER):

The ideal candidate is an energetic and creative professional

And we open with casual ableism! Is someone teaching a class on JD writing? Why is this cropping up in so many job listings recently? It's ridiculous and I'm quickly losing patience with it.

The ideal candidate is an energetic and creative professional who thrives on combining knowledge, training, and creativity to elevate the experience of our customer’s journey. We are seeking a creative and hands-on individual who possesses a passion for knowledge sharing and is excited to dive into industry trends. They are passionate about fostering a culture of constant learning and continuous improvement, the ideal candidate is always striving to provide our agents with the best support possible. They excel in fast-paced environments where teamwork and fresh ideas are valued. Their passion for continuous improvement and developing the best-in-class customer experience makes them an ideal candidate for this role.

Conduct weekly research to produce a monthly report on industry trends related to non-toxic claims, industry developments, and consumer preferences

This is not a CX KB/Training task, so either AI included this and no one caught it, or they're confused about what CX KB/Training does.

Conduct regular audits of website and marketplace partners to confirm product page accuracy

This is skirting the limits of what CX KB/Training should do, in my opinion. CX KB/Training is not responsible for marketing materials, Marketing is, and they certainly shouldn't be responsible for partner content.

However, I could see KB folks teaming up with Marketing/Partnerships to do this together, which could be a great way to build those cross-functional relationships.

Monitor marketplace accounts via BazaarVoice and respond to customer inquiries

Hmm. HMM. Hell of a task to sneak in at the end there. Is this position supposed to be doing support too?

Strong attention to detail

Y'all, when I say I laughed! Because that was followed almost immediately with this:

Effective organizational skills; ability to manage various competing priorities
Flexibility to adapt to changing situations and priorities
Fully Remote Company

1) This is not, and has never been, a benefit, and 2) this is the 6th time they've mentioned they're fully remote. That is just excessive.

High quality home and kitchen product + swag, F&F discounts

THIS IS NOT A BENEFIT, but it is embarrassing that it's in that section.
