DATA ENTRY SPECIALIST
Looking for a job? Look elsewhere.
Looking for a craft - at a place where your precision, your standards, and your work ethic actually matter? Read on.
We're Laudisi - the people behind Smokingpipes.com, Peterson of Dublin, Cornell & Diehl, and a handful of other brands you've probably never heard of (but our customers are obsessed with). We carry thousands of products, and every single one of them has to be entered correctly, priced accurately, described precisely, and ready to deliver on the promise we make to every customer: the product you see is the product you'll receive.
Your role? You're the last line between a product and the customer who's counting on that information to be right.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO:
Create, organize, and maintain product listings in our proprietary system - SKUs, pricing, weights, measurements, the works - with the kind of accuracy that makes people say, "I've never seen a catalog this clean. How?"
That's the standard. Every product. Every day.
You'll also:
- Balance invoices and handle foreign currency conversion without breaking a sweat
- Inspect incoming products and run quality-control checks
- Organize and audit on-site and warehoused inventory
- Pull products for trade shows, website updates, and other events
- Spot patterns across thousands of data points and flag anything that's off
YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF:
You're not looking for easy. You're looking for right.
You show up on time because that's what professionals do. You pay attention because the details matter. When a number is wrong, a weight is off, or a SKU doesn't match, it bothers you - and you fix it instead of moving on. You don't need someone standing over your shoulder to do good work; you do it because anything less pisses you off.
You don't just want to be good at this. You want to be the person your team relies on - the one who catches the error no one else noticed, who keeps the catalog tight, who makes everyone else's job easier because you handled your part right.
This is a landing pad, not a parking lot. People who excel here don't stay stuck; they grow into lead roles, operations and inventory positions, and other parts of the business as they demonstrate judgment and initiative.
YOU CAN EXPECT:
- Compensation and benefits: Competitive salary; health, dental, and vision insurance; six paid holidays; generous PTO; 401(k) with 1:1 match up to 4% and no vesting period
- Perks: Casual dress (jeans and t-shirts), tuition reimbursement, referral bonuses, year-end bonuses, fresh fruit daily, paid luncheons, and regular company events.
- Growth: Real opportunities to take on more responsibility as you master the work, improve processes, and show you can own outcomes - not just tasks.
- Culture: A passionate group of "Laudisians" who love the products, love the customers, and love working with people who actually care.
- Reality check: We work around tobacco and smoke; many of us are enthusiasts. You'll sometimes be in smoking areas, so you'll need to be comfortable with that.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
Experience in data entry, merchandising, inventory, or a related field is nice. But what we're really looking for is:
A genuine intolerance for sloppiness
- - when something's off in the data, you notice and you fix it
- Proficiency in business math and comfort with numbers, including foreign currency
- Exceptional written and verbal communication
Strong organizational and time-management skills - - you can juggle multiple tasks and still hit deadlines
- Curiosity about pipes, cigars, or really any other "deep hobby" world where the minutiae actually matter
- Comfort sitting at a desk for extended periods and lifting up to 30 lbs
- A valid driver's license and the ability to pass a criminal background check
THE BOTTOM LINE:
This job isn't for everyone. It's for people who take pride in doing things right, who get frustrated when data slips, and who want to be part of a team that actually holds the line.
If you're reading this and thinking, "Finally, a place that gets it" - apply below.
If you're reading this and thinking, "Wow, they sound intense" - we probably are. And that's fine. There are plenty of other jobs out there.
But if you want to be part of something where your effort matters, where quality isn't negotiable, and where showing up means actually showing up?
