Company description

We're mushrooming! Specifically, we help people grow mushrooms. And given the rise in the popularity of mushrooms, we are growing at an unprecedented rate. We're passionate about cultivating food, foraging for mushrooms, and 'spreading the spore'.

When we launched in 2014, we were a vertically integrated mushroom farm, but have now grown into the Northeast's premier mushroom supply and cultivation ecommerce company with a state of the art in-house laboratory, mushroom spawn production facility, research farm, and digital education center. We're at that perfect stage of growth, where we're still small enough for you to make a major difference, while big enough to have resources to do amazing things.

Job description

We are currently seeking a motivated and detail-oriented full-time E-commerce Fulfillment team member to work at our state-of-the-art mushroom cultivation supply and manufacturing facility in Portland, Maine.

 

In this role, you will be responsible for fulfilling orders for our thriving e-commerce store. Your days will be spent making boxes, moving small objects, verifying pick and pack lists, and ensuring that our products are shipped out to our customers quickly and accurately. You will also less frequently work with our other departments on an as-needed basis. 

 

The position requires you to lift up to 50 lbs several times a day, and 1 to 30 lb packages throughout the day. No experience is necessary as we are looking for individuals who are enthusiastic, energetic, and able to maintain a good pace throughout the day. You must be comfortable both working independently and in a team setting.

 

At North Spore, you will have an excellent community of supportive and interesting colleagues. We come here because of a common interest in mushrooms and food systems, and stay because of the people we work with. You will have the opportunity to work with a team of dedicated and friendly individuals who are passionate about what they do. We listen to good music, keep each other entertained, and get stuff done together.

 

Starting pay for this position is $18/hr.

 

We take care of our team members! You will have access to health benefits with our base plan at a silver level, dental, vision, earned paid time off, paid sick time, retirement benefits with no employee match required, maternity and paternity leave, and a significant employee discount. You also can have a bed (or two, or more) in our community garden at our facility with free access to compost.
