Opportunities from Ankorstore Careers (Ashby)

About us

Ankorstore exists to help independent brands and retailers thrive by making wholesale simpler, faster, and more profitable.

As a B2B Marketplace, we are building the infrastructure that powers modern wholesale for brands — from getting discovered by the right retailers to ordering, logistics, and financing — so both sides can work together on better, more sustainable terms.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a People Operations Partner, you will be the backbone of our HR operations, primarily responsible for managing essential processes, with a strong focus on payroll and ensuring rigorous compliance across all administrative tasks. You will own the operational execution that keeps the company running smoothly, ensuring precision, reliability, and legal adherence in every action.

Secondarily, you will serve as the key point of contact for our employees and managers. This role requires a unique blend of operational excellence and high-touch service: while you will be hands-on in managing day-to-day inquiries and workflows, you will also be a catalyst for improvement, identifying opportunities to optimize existing processes and improve the overall employee experience.
