Role
Who you are
- A confident communicator, comfortable writing clear, friendly, persuasive emails and reaching out to new people with an aim of generating new business

- Proactive and self-motivated, with a willingness to pick up the phone or send the first message
- Detail-oriented, organised and able to juggle multiple tasks and conversations at once
- A curious self-starter who’s keen to learn how a growing consumer brand sells into retailers and marketplaces
- Interested in the games industry, retail, wholesale, and how products get onto shelves
- Keen to learn and develop your sales skills in a fast-paced environment
- Collaborative, proactive, and willing to ask questions in a small team environment
What the job involves
- US Market Launch Support: Play a key role in our expansion into the US market by helping to research, prospect, and contact US-based retailers as we grow our wholesale presence in the US, learning how new accounts are identified, approached, and onboarded
- Sales & Account Support: Managing the sales process from first contact through to order, including follow-ups, answering retailer questions, and helping manage reorders and ongoing relationships - ultimately contributing to the company sales target
- Order Processing & Operations: Assisting with wholesale order processing, coordinating with our US fulfilment partner, and helping ensure stock is moving smoothly from production through to delivery
- Amazon & Marketplace Support: Supporting the management of our Amazon US account, including sending stock into Amazon distribution centers, maintaining listings, running ad campaigns and helping with performance monitoring
- Faire & B2B Platform Management: Helping manage our Faire account, including updating imagery, product information, SEO, and supporting outreach to new retailers through the platform
- Email Marketing & Campaign Support: Assisting with B2B email marketing campaigns to retailers, including list building, campaign setup, and performance tracking
- Broader Business Exposure: There will be opportunities to get involved in other areas of the business as needs arise — from product launches to operational improvements — giving you exposure to how the wider company runs
- Reporting & Organisation: Keeping records of outreach, orders, and operational tasks using simple tools and spreadsheets, and supporting reporting on progress and learnings
- Trade Shows & Events: Supporting the team at trade shows and events, helping with preparation, meeting retailers, and following up leads afterwards
Salary benchmarks
Our take
It may come as a surprise with the mass growth in video gaming and AI fun but old-school escape rooms, quizzes, board games and more remain crowd-pleasers. The billion dollar board game industry is a competitive sector, with companies fighting to stay relevant and also trump old favourites like Cluedo and Monopoly. Puzzle Post is a 2020 founded company creating brain teasing board games that you receive via the post.
Aimed for consumers to purchase for games nights, dinner parties and more, the company was founded by 4 lovers of quizzes, escape rooms, board games and receiving things by post. In a generation where we're not accustomed to receiving things unless they are Amazon parcels, the company has created a large range of products suitable for multiple age ranges and groups. The idea is fun and innovative and holds its own in a saturated space.
