Your search for the perfect dog leash is over! Meet the Quirky Kōsoku.

This fully-featured leash is designed with both doggy and owner convenience in mind. We think you’ll both find Kōsoku’s combination of plush and rigid materials the ideal walking companion.

Here are just a few of its fine features:

- Fully retractable 6-foot long leash.

- Reflective 3M tape surface for extra visibility.

- Side pocket to hold doggy “waste” bags.

- Shock-absorbent neoprene and durable nylon canvas wrapped around a semi-rigid core for strength and flexibility.

- Designed for dogs up to 90 lbs.

UPDATE: Our warehouse friends were able to ship out more than 500 Cloak packages in just one day. From here on out it should be smooth sailing!

(You: Wait, what? Did I read that right? Cloak is shipping?!)

Yeah, you read that right. After a long journey filled with ups and downs, we are finally ready to roll out probably the most anticipated iPad case in iPad case history. And we have pictures to prove it!

The next series of pics will come from you… post a photo of you with your Cloak on our product page when you receive it!

No, not that guy. Fooled ya, didn’t we? We’re talking real jobs, the kind where you show up and do work. But these aren’t your typical jobs, oh no. These jobs are downright Quirky — just read the descriptions!

INVENTORY MANAGER / ANALYST (Or, choose your own title. Actually, we don’t even use titles.)

Ready to manage our inventory ordering, track our complicated inventory assembly and keep our numbers tidy? We need a superstar of a record-keeper: someone who can crunch numbers like a pro, solve complex problems, find things I didn’t even know we missed and completely self-manage. This is an entry-level position and doesn’t require a ton of experience. But, the position does require lots of brain power and a track record of solid use of smarts and creativity. You’ll report to a finance gal, so you don’t need to know the GAAP rules. You just have to be good with numbers, tracking and accuracy.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

You have number crunching experience, understand inventory and are a manager. More importantly you are incredibly intelligent, have common sense, make good decisions, are able to figure things out without much guidance. The bulk of the work will build less upon your experience and more upon your general intelligence and ability to get things done without a lot of guidance. You’ve got to be good with technology and cool to be around. You’ve also got to be very accurate and great with tying up details.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Analyze millions of dollars worth of inventory to determine ordering needs and maximize cost efficiency

• Track inventory manufacturing and assembly + related costs in our super cool accounting system

• Manage millions of dollar bills in payments to international manufactures

• Track inventory-on-hand to a very detailed level at multiple locations – liaison with warehouses for adjustments to inventory errors

• Track all movement of inventory and reconcile it monthly in our accounting system

• Learn, participate and have fun doing it

TO APPLY

STEP 1: learn about us http://www.quirky.com If you fall in love, move to step 2, otherwise, move on.

STEP 2: Let’s have a real conversation. My name is Jovena, not “Dear Sir.” You’ve got a beautiful standard cover letter you use to apply other job postings. Cool, but I don’t like those letters. Let’s not follow the standard applicant – hiring manager formalities, and instead have a real convo. Tell me why you’d be great in this job.

In your note to me at idonumbers@quirky.com, please use the subject line “Inventory Wiz – Your first name” on your email. In your note to me (in the body of an email), please let me know what compensation level you’re looking for. Attach your resume, of course.

SALES SUPPORT & GLOBAL LOGISTICS (Or, choose your own title. Actually, we don’t even use titles.)

It will be your responsibility to assist the sales staff in execution of their sales. This includes direct sales on quirky.com, domestic sales to retailers in the US, and international sales to retailers and distributors worldwide. When a member of the Quirky sales staff alerts you to a purchase order, you will be responsible for getting the goods into the retailers’ hands on time and effectively, including every step in between: quoting freight costs, working with the inventory manager to determine what is in stock, managing our warehouse relationships, organizing pick up and delivery, and invoicing. In short, you will be awesome at moving product all around the world.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

You have experience at a consumer products company. You have worked in an operations role in a past job and have a deep understanding of freight and logistics. You know the ins and outs of FedEx and have a great understanding of how to move goods across the globe. You are incredibly intelligent, have common sense, make good decisions, and are able to figure things out without much guidance. You’ve got to be good with technology, numbers, dates, details, and deadlines. You should be excited to work at a startup and I would hope that you like some of the products that you see on our website.

RESPONSIBILITIES

- Ensure all orders placed on quirky.com make it to our consumers

- Execute on all Quirky retail/wholesale orders

- Manage warehouse relationships (both US and overseas)

- Work closely with Inventory Manager to know the what, when, where, and how of inventory

- Invoice retailers

- Quote freight costs

- Pitch in whereever you are needed and be excited about it – we are a startup!

TO APPLY

STEP 1: Learn about us at http://www.quirky.com. If you like what you see, proceed to step 2; otherwise, this job’s not your bag, baby.

STEP 2: Let’s have a real conversation. My name is Nikki, not “Dear Sir.” If you’ve got a beautiful standard cover letter you use to apply other job postings, you can push that to the side for me. Let’s not follow the standard applicant — hiring manager formalities, and instead let’s just talk. Tell me why you?d be great in this job. E-mail idoops@quirky.com.

In your note, please use the subject line “Sales Support & Global Logistics – Your first name” on your email. And, do take the time to learn about our company and write a personal cover letter.
