[Hiring] Ecommerce Operations Assistant @AUGO

Role Description

We’re hiring a full-time Ecommerce Operations Assistant to be the tactical backbone of our team. This is a shared role — you’ll support multiple department heads across:

• Amazon operations
• Customer service
• Multi-platform store management
• Pricing
• Light sourcing

You won’t be siloed to one area. You’ll be the reason customer messages get answered fast, listings stay healthy, pricing stays consistent across platforms, and the operation runs smoothly across countries. You’ll report to the team through a shared task queue. Priorities are set collaboratively each week. Your job is to execute — cleanly, quickly, and with the kind of attention to detail that makes department heads want to keep giving you more.

If you love variety, ownership, and being trusted across an entire operation, this role is for you.

What You’ll Own

• Amazon Listing Monitoring & Support: Monitor Amazon listing health across our catalog. Flag issues as they happen — Buy Box loss, suppressed listings, content violations, low inventory alerts. Support listing updates when needed (titles, bullets, descriptions, images). Back up the team on keyword research and backend search terms.
• Customer Service Across Channels: Respond to Amazon customer messages within 24 hours. Handle the customer email inbox at support@augo. Manage Amazon Q&A responses. Escalate complex issues to the right department head. Track recurring issues so we can fix them upstream.
• Multi-Platform Store Management: Support our Shopify store — product info, imagery, promotions, and updates. Support TikTok Shop backend maintenance. Coordinate updates across platforms so everything stays consistent.
• Pricing Across Platforms & Countries: Keep pricing accurate and aligned across Amazon (US + international marketplaces), Shopify, TikTok Shop, and any other channels we launch on. Maintain pricing sheets in Google Sheets. Roll out coordinated pricing changes when the team makes them.
• Image Work & Content Support: Basic image editing in Canva or Photoshop. Prepare listing images to spec across platforms. Support A+ content and promotional graphics when needed.
• Sourcing Research: Basic supplier research on Alibaba and 1688. Build vendor comparison spreadsheets. Coordinate sample tracking. You’re not negotiating deals — you’re building the data department heads need to negotiate.
• Data & Reporting Support: Data entry into internal systems. Compile weekly reports across platforms. Ad-hoc analysis for department heads as needed.

Benefits

• Cross-Functional Exposure: Most VA roles pigeonhole you into one narrow area.

You’ll learn how an entire e-commerce brand actually runs from the inside.

• Real Impact Across Departments: Your work moves the needle in customer satisfaction, listing health, pricing accuracy, cross-platform consistency, sourcing costs — everywhere. You’ll see your contribution in real business results, every week.
• Growth Path: Prove yourself here and there’s room to grow — into specialist tracks (Amazon operations, customer experience, sourcing, international expansion), team lead roles, or department support as AUGO scales.
• Fully Remote: Work from wherever you’re most productive. All you need is reliable internet, US Eastern time zone overlap, and the discipline to show up every day.
• Mission-Driven: AUGO is about helping families and adventurers take life to go. You’ll be growing a brand that genuinely makes people’s lives easier — that shows up in every 5-star review, every returning customer, every review that says “buying another one for my in-laws.”
