Fantastic full time position helping a charismatic, forward thinking entrepreneur, transfer their ideas and thoughts into action by creating repeat sales, fan based customers, and clever promotions to increase sales in this thriving business.

If You Are……

Eager to help a wonderful company to grow into their full potential……(you love it when you can help a business with your unique talents and abilities),

An excellent communication- written, on the phone, online, and in person (you have the ability to translate the owner's vision into words and actions that resonate with both customers and employees),

Able to assess and prioritize tasks, projects, and messages (you know what needs to be on the top of the list and what can get passed on),

Highly organized, accurate, and detail-oriented (you're someone who organizes your junk drawer….),

Tech-savvy and comfortable with Google Suite, Shopify, Etsy, Paypal, zoom and other web-based applications (you find these great tools to use in small business)

Customer focused: committed to giving an amazing experience to EVERY customer (you aim to please and make it happen with a win-win attitude),

Passionate, positive, enthusiastic, and team oriented (you’re a glass half-full kind of person with a can-do attitude),

Self-confident and self-assured (you’re kind and respectful, but won’t take any BS from staff or customers),

Retail store experience is essential- you must know how to navigate in a retail setting (you love the retail experience and fulfilling customers needs with great products, services and over the top retail knowledge that wow’s the customer experience).

And would love to….

Represent the company and the Creative Director in the most positive, productive, and professional manner (you want to make a huge impact!),

Keep the inbox clean, organized and up to date (you take it as a personal challenge to get all the loose threads wrapped up each day),

Keep important conversations on track (you get the team rallied to keep things rolling in the right direction),

Exicute the task list, coordinate the calendar, and lead the way (because getting @#!* done keeps you happy!)

Follow up on the details of potential customs, events, and possibilities (so every customer gets their needs met with our services),

Set up specials, private events, and offsite events (to build strong alliances with our partners and customers),

Create schedules, gallery to-do lists, and expenses (because what you pay attention to grows into potentials!),

Assist with routine work and special projects (it’s exciting to do new things, you never know what cool assignments you might get!).

We offer….

Full time, flexible hours based on needs, ours & yours (a nice combination of working with the team to get the job done!),

A competitive wage in a fantastic unique setting & business (your friends will all be jealous of your working environment!),

Crazy fun perks like free classes, discounts on products, staff meals on show dates, snacks, great coffee and a super fun team to work with (our staff is very diversified having a wide range of talents, skills, and unique perspectives),

A family-flexible schedule (because life does show up in crazy ways that we have to accommodate into our lives),

Time off for all holidays, bonuses and tips based on performance and hours worked, and more vacation time than most (as long as we’re getting the work done, we all deserve a break!),

A small entrepreneurial company where your ideas, efforts, and inputs are heard and valued (you really make a difference to this company and who we are),

The chance to make a real, life-changing difference for our customers, their families, and their local communities.
