Our mission is to become a tech-driven company in a traditional industry, and therefore make the shipping & storage of bulky and valuable items as easy as possible by providing an online and seamless experience.
We currently serve a wide range of customers from art galleries, antique dealers, auction houses, online platforms to interior designers.

You will play a key role in the handling and packaging, and transportation of artworks, antiques, and interior design objects, ensuring their integrity and safety at every step— from collection to installation.

✏️ What you'll do:
- Ensure safe handling of artworks: Carefully handle artworks, antiques, and design furniture, applying best practices to protect their integrity.
- Perform detailed condition reports before and after each handling: Document the condition of each object precisely before and after handling, ensuring rigorous traceability and optimal preservation.
- Packaging and protection of items: Perform careful packaging, selecting appropriate materials and methods (crating, padding, foam, etc.) to minimise risk of damage during transportation.
- Loading and unloading operations: Perform the loading and unloading of trucks, ensuring secure fixation of crates and packages in the vehicles, manually or using lifting equipment as necessary.
- Ensure tracking and storage of items: Use our inventory management system effectively to monitor and record the movements, locations, and statuses of artworks.
- Collaborate with logistics and customer service teams: Provide prompt support to the warehouse team, operational staff, and customer service, contributing to a smooth admin management.
🧑🎨 Your profile:
- Ideally a previous experience as an art packer or with high-end furniture moving, with the ability to assess and minimise risks associated with handling fragile and valuable items. Juniors profile are also welcome to apply.
- Proficiency in using warehouse handling equipment (dollies, pallet trucks, carts, etc.) and ability to safely handle heavy items.
- Solid understanding of warehouse logistics and storage systems to ensure accurate tracking of items’ movements and locations.
- Precision by paying attention to detail.
- Team-oriented with strong collaboration skills.
🌍 What we offer:
- An opportunity to be part of a constantly developing and innovative company that is transforming the art logistics industry.
