Accounts Payable Manager

It's not all sell, sell, sell around here. Sometimes we buy stuff from people. Pretty often, actually. And those people like to get paid. We could just grab fistfuls of cash from our vault, stuff them in envelopes, and mail them out...or you could come help us do this right.

Intangible benefits: custody of the company checkbook. Don't go nuts with it, now.

If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: Professor Invoice, mystic master of cash outflow.
Degrees of separation from CEO: 2.1832.
Worst part of the job: the invoices. The invoices. The invoices. They never stop coming. They never stop.
It'll go better if: we keep enough money in the bank to pay our bills.
Make sure you bring: your check-signing pen. And your own inkwell, if you're a quill user.

Responsibilities:

• Manage accounts payable department comprising of multiple analysts responsible for high volume purchase order & non-purchase order invoices, employee expense reports, and company credit card processing.
• Initiate vendor payments via wires, checks or ACH, while ensuring integrity in payment process.

• Research all vendor inquiries and/or disputes in a timely and professional manner.
• Forecast company cash outflow on a regular basis.

Corporate Recruiter

Believe it or not, it takes more than a hilariously witty job listing to land the people we need to run this little discount house. You gotta rope 'em, tag 'em, and brand 'em - or, in literal terms, find 'em, screen 'em, and interview 'em. Please don't actually rope or brand any applicants.

Degrees of separation from CEO: a couple, until we need to hire a new CEO.
Worst part of the job: pitilessly crushing the dreams of bright-eyed, hopeful applicants.
It'll go better if: you're not racist, sexist, ageist, or any other illegal "-ist".

Buyer

You're at Woot, so you probably think you know a deal when you see one. But we're not looking for any old discount-chaser here. We need a true bargain wrangler, somebody who won't be satisfied until they've sniffed out the cheapest needle in a warehouse full of haystacks. We need somebody who can buy the shoes off of a horse and make the horse think he's the one getting a good deal. Most of all, we need a fearless, intrepid explorer, who'd always rather be moving than standing still.

In this job, you'll learn: exactly where LeakFrogs come from.
Intangible benefits: first shot at the LeakFrogs, for your personal stash.
Potential hazards: watching your painstakingly crafted deal get ruthlessly mocked in public by our writers.
If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: Acquisitor, who uses the power of the mind to manipulate reluctant sellers.
Degrees of separation from CEO: 3, unless you make a really awesome deal.
Worst part of the job: realizing the XV-208531 video card you just bought is inferior to the XV-208531-A video card you could've bought.
It'll go better if: you know where to find new iPods for, like, two bucks apiece.
Make sure you bring: your own bottle. In this job, you'll need it. Uh, bottle of water, we mean. Yeah, water. It's thirsty work.

Job Responsibilities:

• New vendor introduction to our business
• Deal research / analysis
• Deal negotiation / closing
• Account maintenance / Relationship building
• Internal sales -selling product/story/energy/ideas to our sales and product management teams
• Inventory management - monitoring for problem items in stock, creating awareness and discount programs to address

Prerequisites:

• Detail-oriented with organizational skills
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, ever-changing very demanding environment

No-Nos:

• Mediocrity
• Any level of comfort in stagnant cultures
• Stubbornness
• Fast talkers/slow typists (one or the other might be ok, but not both, unless able to actually do both at the same time)

Even though we’re all about equal opportunity, xenophobes need not apply.

Web Designer/Developer (St. Louis)

Against all reason, we're hoping to cram one more person into our St. Louis-based creative & development office. Right now, a lot of Americans are talking about whether experience matters. For this job, it's the ONLY thing that matters. We're not looking for a diploma, we're looking for a designer. We're looking for somebody who can show us that they've done the work and can do it again. Whether you did it for pay, for a grade, or just for fun is of no interest to us. So don't bother lying on your resume about your degrees. Your portfolio will tell us all we need to know. And XHTML never lies.

In this job, you'll learn: that great web pages aren't born. They're made. Then tweaked, modified, revised, and finally re-made all over again from scratch.
Intangible benefits: a commute that isn't affected by the I-64 shutdown, unless you live in West County.
Potential hazards: sprained wrists from the Creative Department's daily arm-wrestling bouts.
If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: Bezier Lass or Lad, trusty sidekick to the Creative Director.
Degrees of separation from CEO: two degrees and about 800 miles.
Worst part of the job: the inside jokes. Four of us went to high school together.
It'll go better if: you love the much-misunderstood St. Louis-style pizza and hate the Chicago Cubs. You are one of us, aren't you?
Just kidding about: that last part. The job is open to applicants of all races, faiths, nationalities, genders, sexual orientations, team affinities, and pizza preferences. No jerks, though.
Make sure you bring: the occasional twelve-pack of Coke Zero. That fridge doesn't stock itself, you know.

Responsibilities:

• Working with Creative Director to create and modify web and print graphics, in a variety of platforms, contexts, and formats, and consistent with the established Woot brand.
• Using CSS and XHTML to create web pages.
• Analyzing the pros and cons of potential changes, especially with regard to aesthetics and usability.
• Dealing with crazy bosses who are constantly flinging new tasks at you before you're finished with the last ones.
• Protecting the secret of the Lost Woot Gold of Las Bromas Canyon, with your life if necessary.

Qualifications:

• Like we said, we don't much care about your formal schooling or lack thereof, but you MUST show an online portfolio displaying:
  • CSS in an organized format with well-thought-out and consistent naming conventions;
  • XHTML that is semantic, accessible, and structural rather than display-centric, without using tables (except for tabular data) or deprecated tags, and consistent throughout multiple pages and sites;
  • Aesthetically pleasing and intuitively usable layout and design; and
  • Nothing that hurts our eyes, gets on our nerves, or makes us wonder what you were thinking.
• Demonstrated experience in Photoshop design, including creating functional web page mockups, ability to work within an existing look-and-feel, and the ability to expand to new projects.
• Photo retouching experience, especially as relates to product photographs.
• Secondary skills include designing with vector graphics as in Illustrator, and familiarity with aspects of printing such as Pantone colors and resolution/dpi.
• Familiarity with the Visual Studio environment, .NET code, SourceSafe, basic JavaScript, and digital camera photography a plus.
• Ability to read a clock, dress and bathe yourself, and express your thoughts and ideas without personal insults or physical violence.

You must understand their business needs, promote Woot's product mix to them, lead a crack squad of marketing mavericks on high-risk search-and-fulfill missions, and juggle a demanding, diverse group of clients. (Figuratively, we mean. Attempting to physically juggle a client will be grounds for dismissal.)

General Warehouse Staff

Believe it or not, all those Woot orders don't pack and ship themselves. Until we find a colony of elves who want the job, we need human warehouse staff to get woots to wooters. That's where you might come in. In your dreams you run barefoot through a field of 32 megabyte memory cards. You look out over the city and wonder about the story of each and every Mustek camera.

Intangible benefits: Sometimes you’ll get to spend all day testing one of those little remote control helicopters while the copywriters sit at their desks steeped in jealousy. Or so we’ve heard.
Potential hazards: Warehouse sharks. No, really, it’s a big industry secret. I shouldn’t even be telling you this much.
If Woot were a superhero team, you’d be: the best friend with the signal watch. But hey, they always get powers eventually. Be patient, you gotta work your way up!
Degrees of separation from CEO: Who do you think hears the signal watch?
Worst part of the job: Once a year you have to stick your hand in that tree stump from Flash Gordon and try not to get stung by the scorpion beast. Strangely, this breaks no current OSHA regulations.
It’ll go better if: you marry into money.
