Product Sourcing Specialist - Fresh Graduate - English and Vietnamese required

Viahart has been around since 2010. We design, make, and sell products all over the world: educational toys, sporting goods, and more! We’ve shipped our own products from Vietnam to the US for over 10 years, and we run our own Vietnam-USA shipping service. We’ve been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, CNBC, and NBC. We’re a small team, so your work will matter right away.

We’re looking for a Product Sourcing Specialist who will build relationships with suppliers, visiting factories or showrooms when needed. You’ll explain what our company needs, collect detailed product information, and act as our company’s representative. 

You won’t be stuck doing one small task! You’ll learn products, suppliers, pricing, shipping and online selling all at once. You’ll research and compare products so we pick the best ones, add and update products on our website, take simple photos and videos for marketing, track shipments, and keep our records organized.

Application Process

• Take our personality test here: https://personality.viahart.com/apply/product-sourcing-specialist-vietnam-id-609683. (about 10 minutes, free, no ID needed!)
• If it's a match, we'll email you our assessment to complete.
• Meet our team in person at our warehouse!

What you’ll do

• Find good products to sell
• Find good suppliers and build real working relationships with them
• Work out whether a product will make money (product cost, shipping, ads)
• Write online product listings in English
• Estimate size, weight, and the best way to pack boxes and fill containers
• Keep clear records of costs and profits
• Always look for a better way: better products, better suppliers, better processes!

Location

• This is an in-office position at Linh Xuân, Thủ Đức, Ho Chi Minh City, 5 days a week.
• Must be able to join our monthly team meeting. Time alternates each month:
• Around 8-9PM Vietnam time
• Around 8-9AM Vietnam time
• Our warehouse doesn’t have air conditioning yet, so it gets hot. We plan to fix this in the future.

Compensation and benefits

• This job will range from 13.8M to 21.1M VND/month or $533 to $816 USD/month, but is negotiable
• You will be paid every 2 weeks in USD
• This is a full-time job with 40 hours of good work per week on average
• Bonuses are given at the beginning of every February, based on merit. These range from 0% to 15% of yearly salary.
• 16 business days of paid vacation per year. You can use it after a 3-month probation period.
• We replaced public holidays with extra paid time off allowing you to choose when you take time off rather than following a calendar!
• You will need to work on Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and New Years Eve.
• At first, you'll be paid as a contractor. Once our Vietnam company is set up, you'll become an employee. Vietnamese law then requires us to deduct social insurance (10.5%) and personal income tax, so your take-home pay will be about 10-11% lower.
• As a contractor, you’ll be responsible for paying your own taxes and health insurance. Your pay is set higher to cover these costs.
• We believe the best workers must earn more! We never want good people to quit. We’ll shape your job around what you like, what you’re good at, and what we need. 

Why you’ll love working with us:

• Company was founded in 2010, is profitable, has no debt besides a small credit card bill payable, and is generally financially strong
• We have big dreams to be an internationally renowned company AND one with a mission that you can be proud of. That means growing opportunities for you!
• We are innovative. We do things that no one else does and that’s really cool. We don’t want to be like everyone else, we want to be unique and do stuff that no one else has done before!
• Whenever we hire, our goal isn’t just to fill the position; it is to raise the bar with a new hire who inspires everyone else to work harder and be better
• We pay our employees above market and we give raises and bonuses.
• We write “direct communication” and this job post is direct, but we believe in training our people.
• We want to work with you for your entire career.
• We have open communication and you can disagree with your superiors. Management will not always agree with you but they promise to listen.
• I tried to think of some joke to write here but couldn’t think of anything funny...but I will say we are a happy company with a sense of humor :)
• Google our company. Do your research. I think you will like what you find!
