Job Description & Requirements

Customer Service & Brand Support Associate

Six Moon Designs — Beaverton, Oregon
Full-Time · In-Person · Starting at $46,000

About us

Six Moon Designs is a small outdoor gear company based in Beaverton, Oregon. We design ultralight shelters, packs, and accessories used by backpackers who rely on their gear in real conditions.

We are a small team. Everyone contributes across multiple areas, and the work you do shows up directly in the experience our customers have with our brand.

The role

We are hiring a Customer Service and Brand Support Associate. This role is the front line of how our customers experience Six Moon Designs. You will handle direct customer interactions, support our brand presence online and in person, and help build relationships with the trail community we exist to serve.

This is not a behind-the-scenes role. You will be talking with customers daily, fitting packs in our showroom, attending trail events, and representing the brand at industry gatherings like PCT Days. We are also actively working toward opening more regular store hours in our Beaverton showroom, so the in-person customer side of this role is growing.

What you will do

Customer support

  • Provide customer service via phone, email, and live chat
  • Process returns and RMAs
  • Assist with basic gear repairs
  • Provide in-person pack fittings to walk-in customers

Brand and content

  • Maintain our social media presence across platforms
  • Write and publish newsletters and blog posts
  • Coordinate with our ambassadors and brand partners
  • Travel to trail shows and community events a few times each year

What we are looking for

Required

  • Strong customer service skills with experience handling direct customer interactions
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • Comfortable working in a small, fast-moving environment
  • Backpacking or other meaningful outdoor experience
  • Willing to take on both customer-facing work and hands-on physical tasks
  • Able to work full-time in person in Beaverton, Oregon

Strongly preferred

  • Outdoor industry retail or customer service experience
  • Familiarity with social media content creation
  • Experience with newsletter or blog writing
  • Shopify or other e-commerce platform experience
  • Connections to the ultralight backpacking or thru-hiking community
  • Photography or visual content skills

Who this is a good fit for

  • Someone who enjoys talking with customers and representing a brand they believe in
  • Someone with real backpacking experience who can help others find the right gear
  • Someone who likes mixing customer-facing work with brand and content tasks
  • Someone who is team-oriented and low ego

Who this is not for

  • Candidates looking for a pure design or engineering role
  • Candidates who prefer behind-the-scenes work without customer interaction
  • Candidates without meaningful outdoor or backpacking experience
  • Candidates not open to hands-on or physical work

Location

Full-time, in-person role in Beaverton, Oregon. Remote work is not available for this position.

Compensation

Starting at $46,000, commensurate with experience. Room to grow as the role develops.

Benefits

  • Health insurance — Fully paid for the employee
  • 401(k) with 3% match
  • PTO — 15 days to start, grows to 25 days
  • Paid holidays — 9 plus one floating holiday
  • Gear discount — 45% off Six Moon Designs products
  • Volunteer time — 8 paid hours per quarter
