*Part-Time E-commerce Operations Coordinator* Proposed schedule: 8–10 hours per week initially, with potential to grow as business needs and budget allow. Reports to: Managing Director | Proposed work arrangement: Hybrid, San Diego; on-site access for physical inventory and fulfillment as needed. *About MusicWorx Academy* MusicWorx Academy provides music-centered education, professional development, and practical learning resources. Our offerings include online courses, live programs, digital materials, and physical products such as books and harmonicas. *Position overview* The E-commerce Operations Coordinator owns the day-to-day operations that help customers move smoothly from purchase to delivery and participation. This hands-on role maintains accurate product offers, coordinates physical order fulfillment, supports course access, and monitors customer communication and automations in Mastermind Business Hub. While the title is coordinator, we are looking for someone who thinks like an owner. About 90% of the role is hands-on coordination: keeping orders, offers, inventory, and customer access running accurately. The other 10% is operations ownership: watching the numbers, spotting problems before customers or leadership do, and bringing practical, data-backed recommendations to leadership. Working with leadership, marketing, and program staff, the coordinator builds reliable systems that support Academy growth. *Key responsibilitiesCore coordination (about 90% of time)* · Product and offer administration: Create and update approved product listings, course offers, bundles, pricing, coupons, descriptions, and customer instructions. Verify checkout details and links before offers go live. · Orders and fulfillment: Monitor new orders and notifications; locate orders in Mastermind; prepare packing slips; pack and ship products or coordinate with the designated fulfillment person; record tracking and completion; resolve missing or delayed orders. · Inventory: Maintain accurate SKU and stock records for books, harmonicas, and bundled materials. Check physical quantities, flag reorder needs, and coordinate approved replenishment so sales do not exceed available stock. · Course registration and access: Confirm purchases produce the correct enrollment, community access, welcome messages, and material delivery. Help customers navigate access issues and coordinate exceptions with program staff. · CRM and automation: Maintain customer records, tags, lists, and approved workflows. Test order alerts, enrollment steps, and follow-up messages; troubleshoot routine failures and coordinate technical issues with platform support or the implementation partner. · Customer support: Respond clearly and warmly to order, shipping, registration, and access questions during scheduled coverage. Process approved corrections, credits, or refunds according to company procedures and escalate exceptions. · Shipping and checkout settings: Maintain approved shipping zones and rates, test product and bundle checkout flows, and implement tax settings provided by leadership or the accountant. Escalate questions about tax treatment for a decision. · Weekly reporting and documentation: Maintain a brief weekly dashboard of orders, fulfillment status, inventory risks, support issues, sales, and workflow failures. Document repeatable procedures as they are established. *Operations ownership (about 10% of time)* This is where the role goes beyond the task list. Within roughly one hour of a 10-hour week, the coordinator is expected to: · Performance insight: Read the weekly dashboard for meaning, not just accuracy. Track a small set of core e-commerce indicators, such as checkout conversion, average order value, refund reasons, and recurring support questions, and explain what is changing and why. · Proactive problem-solving: Periodically walk through the purchase-to-participation experience as a customer would. Spot recurring issues before they become complaints, such as an offer that confuses buyers, a step where enrollments stall, or a product that regularly runs low, and propose practical fixes. · Recommendations to leadership: Bring concise, evidence-based proposals on bundles, pricing tests, shipping rates, automations, tools, or process changes, with the expected benefit and effort, for leadership decision. · Partner and platform follow-through: Own the working relationship with platform support and the implementation partner. Track open issues, follow up until they are resolved, and keep a log of system changes. *Role expectations & Qualifications* · Demonstrated experience supporting e-commerce, online course operations, digital business administration, or a closely related function. · Comfort using an e-commerce platform, CRM, and marketing automation tools. Mastermind Business Hub experience is preferred; comparable platform experience and the ability to learn quickly are welcome. · Strong attention to detail with product data, orders, inventory, and workflow testing. · Clear written communication, patient customer service, and consistent follow-through with customers of varying technology comfort levels. · Ability to prioritize independently within a limited weekly schedule, document processes, and communicate blockers early. · Comfort with spreadsheets, shared documents, and collaboration tools. Experience with digital courses, physical/digital bundles, or education businesses is a plus. What sets a strong candidate apart · Working knowledge of how an online store performs, including metrics such as conversion rate, average order value, cart abandonment, and fulfillment cost, and the ability to turn them into a clear recommendation. · An ownership mindset: you notice what is not working, ask why, and follow through without waiting to be asked. Examples of improving a process or system you did not create are especially welcome. · Sound judgment about when to act within established procedures and when to escalate, and the habit of bringing a recommended option along with the problem. Music therapy credentials are not required. An interest in music, education, and accessible learning is welcome. *Working relationships and decision authority* Leadership sets product strategy, pricing, budgets, and policies. Marketing staff provide campaign direction and creative assets; instructors own educational content and teaching. The coordinator implements approved offers and workflows and manages routine operations independently, including small fixes and process updates within documented procedures. Anything outside those procedures goes to the appropriate decision maker, ideally with a recommended option rather than the problem alone. Complex integrations and specialized technical work are coordinated with platform support or the implementation partner. *Schedule and success measures* The initial schedule is 8–10 hours weekly, distributed across several weekdays to provide consistent order and customer support coverage. Specific coverage windows and fulfillment timelines will be agreed upon. Any temporary or ongoing increase in hours will be planned in advance. · Accurate orders, stock records, product listings, and customer access. · Orders and inquiries handled within agreed service timelines, with exceptions tracked through resolution. · Reliable automations and documented workflows that reduce routine leadership involvement. · Timely visibility into sales activity, fulfillment issues, and capacity needs. · Problems surfaced early: inventory, checkout, and workflow risks flagged before they affect customers. · Practical, data-backed recommendations brought to leadership regularly (roughly one every month or two), with follow-through on those that are approved. *Application materials* Please provide a resume and a brief description of an e-commerce, course operations, or CRM workflow you have managed or improved. Tell us what you noticed, what you recommended or changed, and what happened as a result. Include the platforms used, your responsibilities, and your availability for a part-time schedule.
