We are hiring someone familiar with programming/coding/creating automation systems for affiliate programs, inventory management between all of our suppliers, order fulfillment systems, auto-data-collection systems for creating supplier accounts and pasting their survey data onto our Google spreadsheets, and setting up filters and groups in excel and on the store for onboarding countless suppliers/customers /affiliate personnel/etc, Bonus brownie points if you are skilled at supplier lead generation.

This Job will pay approximately $3usd/hr during the trial hiring period, and then move to $5usd/hr after we launch the store and reach a profit level that sustains the hiring $5-10usd/hr budget for everyone, raises are given to our whole team for each collectively-accomplished milestone, including a future commission structure. We put a lot into teaching new hires so want all new hires to stay with us for decades, but we also win and fail together, meaning if we don’t reach approximately $4-5kUSD in monthly revenue, then we can’t get to $5/hr or full time. right now we are down to $3-$4/hr and only 20 hours per week because the hiring budget is my own personal savings, which is dwindling at the moment, help us grow our system and network to offer consumers a competitive advantage with sustainable products to tackle the global plastic pollution issues!

BEFORE OUR WHATSAPP INTERVIEW: if you haven’t already, watch the following and take notes on the history and details of plastic pollution issues via: watch 1. “plastic recycling is an actual scam”-Climate Town on YouTube, watch/listen to 2. “JRE #1638” on Spotify podcasts(The Joe Rogan Experience with “Shanna Swan”), 3. learn about the “zero waste”(Zero plastics) niche, and 4. get a good understanding of “Greenwashing”/brainwashing(A ignorant/manipulative misuse of sustainability terms), and how it undermines the public awareness and the Habitat’s sustainability hierarchy, see our website for more on that!
