Our Work
Our Work
1.6 million items, turned into data the world can buy.
DUB STORE RECORDS handles more than 1.6 million items, mainly records and CDs, and sells them to over 100 countries. The Product Department checks every item that arrives and creates the product information used to sell it online.
Product data is what a customer decides on before buying. Accurate product information is what earns the trust of customers around the world.
Checking the item
Hold the actual item and confirm the artist, title, label, catalogue number and country of release.
Entering product data
Enter what you confirmed into our in-house system on a computer.
Grading condition
Check the state of the disc, CD and sleeve, and register the condition of the item.
Creating images
Photograph and upload sleeve and product images where they are needed.
Final check
Verify the entry is correct and finish a product page customers worldwide can buy from with confidence.
Why This Job
Why you will like it here
You build the pages the world sees
An item you enter can be live on the store the same day and on sale to customers in the United States, Europe and Asia. This is not simply data entry. It is the work that connects an item to a customer somewhere in the world.
Different music every day
Japanese music, rock, jazz, soul, reggae, hip hop, classical and more pass through the department. You will handle famous releases and records you have never heard of, every single day.
You can start without music knowledge
No specialist record knowledge is needed on day one. You learn how to check the information and how to use the system one step at a time, with the item in front of you. The knowledge comes naturally as you go.
Accuracy is what counts
This is not a job that rewards speed alone. Checking each item properly and registering accurate information is what matters. It suits people who like doing things carefully.
Work Style
A workplace that fits your life
Very little overtime
~4 min/day
The average daily overtime in the Product Department. Unless there is something special on, staff finish on time. It is easy to balance work and private life.
Desk work and hands-on work
Both, every day
You will not be staring at a screen all day. You check the physical item as you enter it, so the job is part desk work and part handling records.
Start with no experience
Trained on the job
How to use the system, how to read product information, how to grade condition — you learn all of it after you join, and there is always a colleague to ask.

A message to the Product Department
"Product data is the business."
However many records and CDs we hold, we cannot sell a single one to a customer abroad without correct product information.
Check the item, create accurate information, send it out to the world over the internet. The Product Department is where our e-commerce business begins.
As the company grows, the number of items grows with it, and this department matters more, not less. I want it to be a place where people who enjoy steady work and people who want to lead can both grow.
Let us get these records to music fans around the world, together.
