At Sur La Table, community, culinary joy, and celebration are at the heart of who we are. From monthly spotlights to the Golden Whisk awards and cooking class perks, our culture blends recognition with hands-on experiences. New team members are welcomed with care and inspired by wellness events, inclusive stories, and a personal touch that makes you feel right at home.\nReports to: Merchandising Area\nLocation: Seattle, WA (Hybrid - minimum 4 days/week in-office)\nAbout the Role:\nSur La Table's Merchandising, Creative, and Integrated Brand Marketing teams all depend on the same physical samples - for photoshoots, floor set builds, milestone meetings, and campaign production - but no centralized coordination exists today. This role fills that gap.\nAs Sample Coordinator, you will build and own the sample tracking system from the ground up, serving as the operational backbone that ensures the right products are in the right place at the right time. In your first six months, success means a functioning centralized tracking system, a shared calendar that eliminates double-booking, and cross-functional partners who trust you as the go-to person for sample logistics.\nThis is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.\nWhat You'll Do:\nCreate and maintain a centralized sample tracking system - knowing where every sample is, who has it, and when it returns.\nManage a shared sample calendar so Creative, Merchandising, and Integrated Brand Marketing never double-book the same items for competing needs.\nTrack pre-production samples separately from live/post-production inventory, accounting for their longer lead times and higher coordination complexity.\nReceive, organize, and log merchandise samples daily across all three functional areas; break down packaging and maintain a clean, organized shipping area.\nManage the sample shed - ensuring samples are correctly identified, stored, and retrievable.\nRequest missing samples from the distribution center, ship samples with proper documentation, and alert receivers with tracking information.\nPrepare and stage samples for test kitchen sessions, visual floor sets, department resets, style-outs, and milestone meetings.\nCoordinate sample preparation and logistics for all photoshoot types: on-location, studio and lifestyle, HQ tabletop, and ATW silo photography.\nCoordinate pre-production samples for creator partnerships, table-setting content, and high-complexity shoots involving hero products or cross-market sample movement.\nSupport intake, packing, and shipping workflows for image harvest sessions as defined by Creative and IBMktg project managers.\nProactively communicate sample availability, conflicts, and timing to all cross-functional partners.\nManage sample transitions, giveaways, and return-to-vendor processes as needed.\nRequired Qualifications:\n1+ years of retail experience and/or experience in an office environment.\nDemonstrated ability to manage details, prioritize multiple tasks, and meet deadlines across competing priorities.\nMust be available to work onsite at Seattle HQ at least 4 days per week, with flexibility for photoshoots, floor sets, and sample-heavy periods that may require additional onsite presence.\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to communicate effectively across cross-functional teams.\nProficient in Microsoft Outlook, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint; comfortable learning additional programs and software.\nBaseline AI user capability for tracking, documentation, and MS Office work.\nAbility to lift equipment, boxes, and merchandise samples up to 40 lbs.\nAbility to work on your feet for multiple hours a day.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nSur La Table product knowledge or experience in a relevant merchandising, creative, or marketing category.\nWhy Join:\nThe people who do best here are builders. They take ownership, move fast, and want to see the direct impact of their work.\nTeam Environment: You will work alongside Merchandising, Creative, and Integrated Brand Marketing - your work directly enables three teams to operate at their best.\nTraining and Development: Build hands-on expertise in sample management, retail operations, and cross-functional coordination with a clear path to grow within a creative retail organization.\nTrusted From Day One: You will own the sample tracking system end-to-end and be the person teams count on to keep campaigns, shoots, and floor sets on track.\n Competitive Benefits: Paid time off policies, 401(k) match, medical/dental/vision and a variety of supplemental policies, and employee discounts across our portfolio of brands.\nInterview Process:\nRecruiter Screen - A 30-minute conversation with our recruiting team to align on the role, your background, and what you are looking for.\nHiring Manager Interview - Conversation with the Merchandising team focused on your organizational skills, communication style, and approach to managing competing priorities.\nReference Checks - Conducted in parallel with the final stages where possible.\n Offer - We move quickly for the right candidate.\nInterview process is subject to change. Any updates will be communicated promptly and clearly.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5232,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["E-commerce Platforms","Retail & Shop Systems"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T21:41:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":62,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":48000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/csc-generation-sample-coordinator","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/csc-generation-sample-coordinator.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T23:13:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5143,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8524},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8524"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcsc-generation-sample-coordinator"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcsc-generation-sample-coordinator"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcsc-generation-sample-coordinator"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/csc-generation-sample-coordinator\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcsc-generation-sample-coordinator"}]}
