Director, Customer Service

COMPANY INFORMATION

B-Stock is the world’s largest online marketplace for returned, excess, and other liquidation merchandise. Our customers range from SMB to the world’s largest brands and retailers (including nine of the top 10 U.S. retailers). Led by eBay veterans, B-Stock completes over 175,000 transactions per year, selling 90 million items annually, making us a clear leader in the space.

The amount of inventory that is returned or unsold each year is growing very rapidly; in 2018, the value of this merchandise was estimated at $500 billion. Much of it ends up being liquidated for pennies on the dollar; some of it is even destroyed or landfilled. We believe there is tremendous value in and demand for this inventory – no matter the category, condition, or location. The B-Stock platform gives buyers a simple and direct way to buy valuable products, and offers sellers a trusted replacement for traditional liquidation and a critical boost in operational efficiency.

Backed by top investors including Spectrum Equity, True Ventures, and Susquehanna Growth Equity, B-Stock runs lean, fast, and shows no signs of slowing down. Our core values (teamwork, honesty, humor, and the passion to build something great) have shaped the company we are today and will certainly drive our success for many years to come.

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM

In 2013, responding to customer inquiries was a piece of one person’s job. Today we have a team of 20+ professional representatives in Utah who interact with our customers over email, phone, and online chat. The team also handles key tangential tasks keeping our marketplaces running, including scrutinizing resale documents for registration approvals, white-gloving first time buyers, preventing fraud, and addressing disputes. We expect our team to double in size over the next three years, and are looking for the right leader with a proven track record to spearhead this anticipated growth.
