Job Description

We are seeking a meticulous, devoted "gearhead" to join our Product Catalog Team and help build the world’s largest database of vintage, used, and new musical instruments.

Do you obsess over Super Strats and Jazz Boxes, or dream of the ultimate Custom Shop guitar? Our brand's authoritative voice on gear starts with the quality of our product data, and we are looking for someone who cares as deeply about the nerdiest aspects of gear as our most fervent power users.

As a Product Catalog Coordinator, your knowledge will be key in augmenting Reverb’s ever-growing collection of structured product data. You will use a combination of manufacturer documents, Reverb listings, and online knowledge bases to research, catalog, and accurately translate product information into database entries that will enrich Reverb listings and drive site features. In addition, you will examine listings created by Reverb sellers to ensure that they are accurately categorized and tied into our product database, and select particularly compelling listings for inclusion in site-wide promotions.

This is a full-time position reporting to the Product Catalog Manager. We are open to remote hires within multiple states as well as candidates local to Chicago, IL. For candidates who will work remotely visit this link for a list of approved locations

• Upholding Reverb’s community standards by flagging nonconforming listings as needed.

QUALITIES

• An OBSESSION with all things guitar and effects gear-related, from the most minute specs and features to key brands and artists.
• An endless passion for learning about new or unfamiliar gear, with the agility to quickly absorb and internalize new information.
• Ability to recognize patterns in unorganized data and standardize it with minimal direction.
• Adapt to changing priorities and processes.
• An appreciation for the beauty and utility of a well laid-out spreadsheet!

Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of brands, models, specs/features, and history across the electric guitar industry (including accessories, parts, etc.)
• Sustained attention to detail under pressure.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency in Google Sheets software, including bulk data manipulation tools and formulas.
