Business Associate, Home Services

Wayfair believes everyone deserves a home they love, and that furnishing your home should be a source of fun, not anxiety. For a customer to turn their vision into a reality they need more than furniture. Customers may need a quality handyman/woman for in-home services or a protection plan to safeguard their investment. Wayfair Home Services aspires to be the one-stop-shop for customers, offering them a stress-free place for products and services.

The Home Services team is responsible for connecting Wayfair customers with the services they need to complete their home. Each year we sell over one million services to customers ranging from furniture assembly to faucet installation to product protection plans. Our business is fast growing, and operates like a “startup” within Wayfair. As part of the team, you’ll be working in the cutting-edge of e-commerce (such as gig-economy platforms, Services as a SKU), and in true startup mentality you’ll work on a range of challenges that span functions including business, operations, strategy, and technology. Moreover, we’re a highly collaborative, supportive team that values team culture, learning, and intentional career development.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, problem solving Business Associate to help manage our fast growing assembly markets. A market would be a city like Boston for example, where the Business Associate is tasked with managing the performance and expansion of assembly pros operating in that city. This is a great opportunity for those interested in pursuing an Operations career track at Wayfair as you will obtain experience from all facets of a business line. This is also a great role for those looking to help shape a nascent but high-growth business in Wayfair!
