Key Responsibilities:

• Valuing record collections using our internal systems, and communicating offers to potential sellers.
• Sorting and managing stock after purchases are made.
• Handling excess stock, including selling via e Bay and building relationships with local record dealers.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong written communication skills in English.
• Excellent interpersonal skills – you can build rapport and negotiate effectively.
• Competence in using Google Docs and Microsoft Office.
• Familiarity with CRM systems is a bonus (but not essential).

Why Join Atlas Records? At Atlas Records, you’ll be part of a community of music lovers, working with unique collections and contributing to a thriving industry. Whether you’re a seasoned record aficionado or just getting started, if you’re passionate about music and enjoy connecting with people, we’d love to hear from you!
