Job description

At Literati, we believe in the power of terrific books. We are on a mission to ignite a love of learning and a love of life by curating transformative literary experiences for every reader: anyone who dreams, anyone who wonders, of any age. There are some stories no child should live without, and no adult should ever forget.
Literati is the fastest-growing company in Arts + Literature in the United States and the fifth fastest growing company in Texas. After launching an innovative try-before-you-buy print book club for kids in 2017, the company expanded in 2020 into hosting print and digital book clubs for the world's top authors, celebrities, and brands. New for 2022, Literati has expanded into children's book fairs. Lovingly referred to as Austin's "fiction factory," the company curates and fulfills over a million books each quarter.
As a Dock Specialist you will report to the Fulfillment Center Leadership focused on ensuring we utilize our dock space fully and ship and receive product accurately. You will play a crucial role in inventory accuracy, quality control, and dock management. The Dock Specialist responsibilities primarily include but are not limited to: driver check-in, loading and unloading bookfair shipments, managing BOLs and quality documentation for truckloads, updating systems as shipments occur, unloading and receiving of new inventory, general dock flow and organization. The impact areas for the Dock Specialist are revenue growth, Fulfillment Center execution, and quality control. The rewards of the position are high visibility and positive impact on literacy world-wide. Growth opportunities exist as we are a startup and anticipate robust growth in business year over year.
To be equitable to all Literatians, we have set compensation and a non-negotiation policy- we don't think a person's pay should be determined by how comfortable they negotiate. As a result, we like to be transparent and up-front about the compensation. When we make an offer, we can provide options so employees can choose between compensation packages, prioritizing salary or equity. The hourly rate for this role will be $18.00/hr.
WE'RE GOOD AT:
Bringing the fire. We are a startup, with all the fierce dedication and sparkling energy to accomplish great feats. Iron sharpens iron, and so we have refined our teams from only the strongest metals: open minds, bright ideas, and bold determination.
YOU'RE GOOD AT:
  • Equipment Operation (minimum sit-down required)
  • Safety
  • High Quality Standards
  • Strong Math Skills
  • Highly Organized
  • Detail Oriented
  • Tech Savvy
  • Interpreting & Executing Plan
  • Communication & Cooperation
  • Committed to Excellence

YOU WILL NEED:
  • High School Graduate / GED
  • Lift Equipment (Sit Down/Standard) Experience
  • Strong Communication
  • Attention to Detail
  • Task Oriented
  • Ability to walk and stand for prolonged periods of time
  • Ability to lift up to 50lbs
  • Requires frequent bending, lifting and moving

YOUR DAY-TO-DAY WILL LOOK LIKE:
  • Freight Handling: Load and unload cargo safely by hand or using forklifts, hand trucks, or pallet jacks when appropriate. Stack, secure, and wrap freight to prevent damage during transit.
  • Documentation & Accuracy: Verify shipping manifests, bills of lading, and delivery receipts. Accurately input data into warehouse inventory systems.
  • Quality Control: Inspect arriving and departing shipments for damage, missing items, or discrepancies, and report them to supervisors.
  • Teamwork: Communicate frequently with supervisors, collaborate with other team members, and assist in other areas as needed.

We seek people with drive and a touch of alchemy-and if that sounds like you, you should join us. Even if your experience is not a precise match for the role, grit, passion, and prowess will always win the day in our book. And if your career has taken you to some spectacular (or spectacularly strange) places? We love a good story.
At Literati, we value the power of reading for all: anyone who dreams, anyone who wonders, anyone of any age, from any background. We are dedicated to cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusion and connectedness that sees, reflects, welcomes, and celebrates the innovation and talent of a diverse array of people.
