Who We're Looking For
This is an entry level position, but we're looking for someone who wants to join us long term.
If you're just looking for a "job" or some "entry level experience," please do NOT apply.
We are looking for highly motivated self starters who want to join a team, who are committed to personal excellence - who don't just want to be good, they want to be great.
We are looking for someone who we can invest in, and who will invest back in us long term to help us build a great company, and to help our client companies compete and win online against Amazon.
We are looking to jointly invest in each others' growth and success.
Nearly all job seekers claim that they want to be successful, but very few are actually willing to put in the time, energy and sacrifice necessary to become the best version of themselves, or to help their team and their clients be truly great.
We want to work with people who want to work, and who enjoy working.
We are looking for people who don't need a lot of direction and can work well in an unstructured environment, who know how to ask questions, figure out what needs to be done, and know how to get it done.
We are looking for people who love learning, strategic thinking, setting big goals, executing and being accountable. We strongly value curiosity, accountability, and humility.
We think work should be fun. Our clients run businesses, and they hire us to help them do business better. To succeed in this role, you must think business is fun.
Our company is driven more by values than we are by money.
"We love making money by helping our partners make money."
That is our company motto, and it highlights how we think long term and how important win-win partnerships are to us.
We are looking for unselfish people.
We know that if we partner with the right kind of people (teammates and clients), and if we work hard to serve them and help them be successful, that it will bring personal success to us over time.
We believe that career happiness and personal excellence are achieved by focusing on others rather than on yourself, and from working really hard, obsessing over details, doing great work, and being someone who others "love" working with.
If you are the kind of person who is more interested in looking out for yourself rather than serving others and committing long term to our team, then please do not apply.
About Us
FurnitureDealer.Net is an internet technology, online marketing, content publishing and management company located in Burnsville Minnesota.
We are the internet business partner for more than 100 leading full-service local furniture retailers.
We build, manage and host our clients' websites, publish their online digital product catalogs, and strategize with them to attract and serve consumers both online and in-store.
We are a hard working team of tech-savvy, business-oriented problem solvers, constantly striving for innovation and efficiency.
Why We Love What We Do
The internet is all about moving information, and we want to provide great information to people using our websites to shop for home furnishings.
Our company publishes and manages the product catalogs for several hundred furniture, mattress, appliance, and electronics brands.
This involves, researching, communicating, objectively presenting and maintaining a wide range of helpful information about these products for our more than four million e-commerce visitors per month.
You will be publishing on behalf of consumers who are shopping for these products, and you will need to learn to identify and use keywords in your writing for search engine optimization (SEO).
You will need to develop relationships with suppliers so you can understand and tell their ongoing brand and product stories.
Furniture isn’t meant to simply fill the space in one’s home, but instead it encourages you to create meaningful spaces.
It’s easy to overlook the fact that the furniture in your home will play host to countless memories, but that is what makes furniture shopping so special.
From that first sofa you buy for your new apartment, to the dining table where family traditions will be made, furniture continuously plays an important role.
We recognize the substantial impact that furniture has on people’s lives, and that has led us to develop a passion for simplifying the furniture shopping experience.
Through the inspiring and informative content we create, we are better able to connect people with the furniture that will allow them to create meaningful spaces.
Become a Client Strategist with FurnitureDealer.Net
We are looking for someone who can be the strategic advisor to our retailer clients.
You will work closely with them to help them better use and leverage the Internet to grow their business.
Our mission is to help our clients be successful omnichannel retailers.
This means we aren't just managers of their website, we are their trusted advisers and experts on all things digital.
You will be responsible for learning a lot about retail, business, technology, and the home furnishings industry.
Your curiosity and innovation should help us drive new ideas and strategies our retailers can use to be more successful.
You will start by working directly with our senior team leads to be mentored and trained on our retailers, their businesses, and how to solve problems for them using our website platform and tools.
Eventually, you will become the main point of contact for a group of clients, responsible for understanding their business goals, and creating action plans to support them.
You will develop a great relationship and rapport with them so they are happy, successful, and couldn't imagine their future without us.
Expert communication and strategic thinking is key for this role.
You should get excited to talk about nerdy business problems, and have a great sense of urgency and respect for our client's problems.
You will need to clearly articulate complicated thoughts, ideas, and processes. You are not a task manager, you will be expected to understand why the client is asking for a request, and evaluate all the best options for accomplishing that request.
You will need to handle high-stress conversations, and diffuse tense emotions while maintaining the strength of the relationship with the client.
Your accountability should help us consistently deliver high-quality work on fast paced deadlines.
This is an entry level client strategist position, which means we are not expecting you to come in with any previous knowledge of furniture, retail business, or client management.
We're looking for someone with the right personality and attitude to complement our client team.
