Greece Ecommerce Launch Coordinator — 3PL, Courier & VAT Setup

ROLE SUMMARY We are a fast-growing ecommerce company based in Cyprus, expanding into Greece. We sell physical products such as walking pads, fitness equipment, cat products, and other bulky consumer items. We are looking for a hands-on, practical, Greek-speaking Ecommerce Launch Coordinator to help us set up our Greece operations from zero. The role will involve finding and coordinating with 3PL warehouses, couriers, accountants, and other local service providers in Greece. This is not just an online research role. We need someone who is comfortable calling companies, chasing answers, comparing options, and helping us move the launch forward. This will start as a small paid hourly test project. If the work is strong, this can become ongoing part-time work supporting our Greece expansion. COMMITMENT & AVAILABILITY This is a FREELANCE HOURLY ROLE. We will start with a small paid test of approximately 3–5 hours. If the work is good, we expect this to grow into ongoing part-time work related to our Greece launch and operations. You must be available during regular Cyprus/Greece business hours, because the role requires contacting warehouses, couriers, accountants, suppliers, and other service providers. We are looking for someone proactive, responsive, and commercially minded — not someone who simply waits for instructions. COMPENSATION This is an hourly freelance role. Please include your hourly rate in your proposal. For the right person, there is potential for ongoing work after the initial paid test project.
