Customer Care and Parts Specialist

Nych Group sells multiple product lines, including Enclo, Zippity Outdoor Products and WamBam Fence and more to come! We manufacture vinyl and aluminum fence that is designed for the Do-It-Yourself customer. Our product is sold direct to customers through our website, as well as through retailers such as Amazon and Home Depot. Nych Group (Formerly WamBam Fence, Inc.) was started in 2009 and is a spin off from successful companies such as New England Arbors and Mayne Outdoor Products.

Job summary:
We are looking for a team player and someone who will jive with the rest of us in our growing environment. Above all, we are looking for someone to always go the extra mile for the customer. We take our product seriously but not ourselves too seriously, so you will need to be light-hearted and fun, yet not afraid of hard work. We enjoy a laugh every now and again, and since we are a small company, we value relationships with each other. It’s an open office environment, and our company culture is slightly zany and whimsical. As such, we are not a typical corporate outfit. You are not going to be tightly managed or asked to follow rigid guidelines, so you must be a self-motivated person who can “figure it out”.

We aspire to a “2 Second Lean” culture which is based on the book by the same title (Author Paul Akers). 2 Second Lean is all about continuous improvement. We have fun with this and have found that to really thrive an employee must enjoy 2 Second Lean and the continual improvement of trying to make things better, one second at a time.

If you enjoy grassroots entrepreneurialism, a light-hearted work atmosphere, and like to be able to “roll up your sleeves and pitch in”, we will probably be a good fit for you. Because we are a small company, there is no such thing as “this isn’t my job”. We all pitch in and work together to make sure that our customers are happy. We are looking for a candidate who is smart, on the ball, great with people, has excellent phone skills and will be passionate about helping our customers.
