At Lakeshore, we create innovative learning materials and world-class guest experiences for teachers, parents and children. Since 1954, we’ve grown into a global community—with a thriving e-commerce business, multiple catalogs, 60+ retail stores, a peerless national sales force, plus international offices that support our preeminent supply chain division. But today we’re working better, smarter and faster than ever—and setting our sights even higher. We’re building an infrastructure designed for scalability, embracing data-driven decision-making and using technology to improve efficiency and ensure the best tools for the best work. Most importantly, we continue to invest in a diverse team of inquisitive top talent who fuel each other’s passions and curiosity, take risks, try new things, and believe that every new day brings opportunities for growth.

To help us keep our ducks in a row, Lakeshore’s Research, Design & Development Department in Carson could use the support of a full-time Documentation & Sample Admin who thrives in a fun, fast-paced and deadline-driven environment. The DSA will have strong attention to detail and play a very vital role to the operations of the team. Come be a part of the magic that creates one-of-a-kind products that help kids build educational skills and reach developmental milestones!

A day in the office looks like this:

• Anticipating the needs of the Product Developers and identifying potential issues and providing solutions, allowing the Product Developers to focus on the product and not the operational tasks involved
• Executing all assigned operational responsibilities, including managing the product data, paperwork and sample processing throughout all phases of the development cycle
• Prepare and process documentation for the product development team, such as new item cost work sheets and vendor agreements.
• Communicating effectively with cross-functional team members and management
• Performing additional tasks to support the developer and/or development process, such as product assembly, mock-up and function testing on an as needed basis.

Got the skills and experience? Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Minimum of a High School diploma
• 1-2 years of experience in a related field.
• Strong attention to detail
• Ability to proactively manage multiple projects/deadlines
• Ability to identify routine issues and provide potential solutions
• Knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint
• Egoless, collaborative approach to producing great work
• Ability to adapt to changing work conditions

And here’s our end of the bargain!

• Hourly: $19-$21 with an annual bonus of up to 10%
• Excellent medical/dental and vision coverage—EPO, PPO and HSA
• 401(k) retirement plan with company contribution (because you will retire someday)
• Flexible benefits—choose what you like, ignore the rest
• On-site preschool for our employees’ children
• On-site employee gym for all levels/fitness needs
• Generous employee discount on products that make you smarter
• Casual dress…and we really mean it

At Lakeshore, we know our diversity makes us stronger, and when everyone feels included and valued, we all win. We strive to embrace our differences and create an intentionally diverse and inclusive community that is representative of the teachers, families and children we serve.

We know we couldn’t do the extraordinary things we’re doing without the people on our team. Thanks to the passion and enthusiasm of this spectacular group, Lakeshore is more than a great place to work—it’s a great experience to be part of. Day in and day out, we give everything we’ve got to create products that instill a sense of wonder and foster a true love of learning. To help maintain this high bar for success, we’re constantly on the lookout for people to join us. So if you’re a down-to-earth professional who shares our desire for making a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
