Careers at Book Hero

Who We Are

We are not your typical bookseller.

Yes, we love books. But we also love technology and innovation. We are analytical. We care deeply about great in person customer service and running a beautiful bookstore. We obsess over systems that scale, data, fulfilment speed and the small details that most people never see.

We are united by one thing: wanting to do things differently and build something special.

Most of us probably do not fit in everywhere. But we fit in here.

Current Open Roles

🎅🏻 Christmas - Warehouse Sidekicks

We're looking for enthusiastic, hardworking people to help our warehouse team through our busiest time of year.

You'll help shelve books, pick and pack customer orders, and make sure thousands of books reach readers across New Zealand in time for Christmas. We also sell toys, games and puzzles - so Christmas is a magical time of the year to join the team 🎄🎅🏻

We're looking for people with plenty of availability during November and December, including weekends and evening shifts. Full-time hours may be available during our busiest periods, although hours are not guaranteed.

Our warehouse is located at 112B Hobsonville Road, Auckland.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Picking and packing customer orders quickly and accurately
  • Receiving, processing and shelving incoming stock
  • Helping with general warehouse tasks wherever an extra pair of hands is needed
  • Working with the team to get orders out the door and under the Christmas tree as quickly as possible!

What we’re looking for:

  • People looking for short-term work over November and December, with plenty of availability
  • People who enjoy working hard, being part of a team and are comfortable working at pace
  • Previous warehouse experience is a bonus, but not essential - attitude matters more to us

What you’ll get:

  • A friendly, close-knit team who work hard and have fun doing it
  • Staff discounts on books, games, puzzles, toys and more
  • A busy environment where you can actually see the difference your work makes

If you’re interested in joining us, please complete the short Google Form below and we'll get back to you before the start of November.

Where We’re Based

Book Hero is based in Hobsonville, Auckland.

Our bookshop, warehouse and office all live together in one space. It is busy, fast moving and full of books.

What We’re Building

We are building an online bookstore we are genuinely proud of.
One we shop at ourselves. One we are proud to send to our friends and family.

We sell books - a lot of them. And we are expanding into a growing range of book-adjacent products you can enjoy together, like puzzles, board games and toys.

We care about quality products.
We care about service.
We care about getting it right.

Our Culture

We are focused and we move quickly.

We care deeply about our customers. Every decision comes back to them.

We are not corporate, but we are professional and respectful. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves.

We bring our individual personalities to work. We do not expect everyone to think the same way or look the same way. In fact, it is because we are different that we are great.

People tend to succeed at Book Hero if they:

  • Work hard
  • Stay humble
  • Focus on the customer and the result of the whole team
  • Respect their teammates and customers
  • Do not cling to dogma and “this is how it has always been done”
  • Are open to improving systems and doing things better

If that sounds like you, you will probably feel at home here.
