Monorail Music is an established, community-focused record shop in Glasgow city centre and we are looking for someone to join our online retail team on a full time basis. Having opened in 2002, we are at this point an established operation and are proud to be regarded as one of the best-loved record shops in the world. We remain ambitious and have just launched a new website which we hope will further expand our online operation. We are looking to find a new member of staff who will be joining us at this important and exciting time and contributing significantly to our online side.

The online side of Monorail Music is dynamic, flexible and skilled. It’s fast-moving, exciting and sometimes even fun. This post mixes the need for organisational skills and a structured approach with the potential to contribute creatively. Working closely with the Online Manager, you will be responsible for delivering excellent service to our customers and have the opportunity to engage creatively. This will involve developing campaigns, curating and creating editorial content and contributing to the company’s social media accounts. Hi

Your key responsibilities will include:

Post / Customer Orders

Stock Control / Inventory

Social Media / E-Marketing

Campaign Planning

As the Online Assistant’s role overlaps and complements that of the Online Manager, it’s important you’re able to take care of day to day basics while also being able to contribute to the creative side.  At times of holiday this will substantially increase so it’s important to be able to assume the role of Online Manager at those times.

We expect applicants to be well-versed in and have a passion for independent music and culture. Having previous experience in social media and the music community at large will be very valuable to the role, while previous experience in music retail would be helpful, though not essential. Good writing skills and some knowledge of programs/platforms like Mailchimp, Twitter, Instagram, Photoshop, WooCommerce/Wordpress and Facebook would be a significant bonus.

Benefits:

This is a rare opportunity to work with a music retailer that is an integral part of the vibrant music scene in Glasgow. You will be part of an excellent team of people who are passionate and knowledgeable about music but open to learning from you too.

* Committed Living Wage Scotland employer

* 30 days per year holiday pro-rata.

* Flexible hours within reason
