Join our team!

Currently looking for: Studio Assistant

Pay: $18/hr

Type: Part-time, 2 days per week to start, increase with seasonal demand. (Our typical work days are Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat,10am-6pm.)

Description: We are looking for an exceptional, detail-oriented individual to join our tight-knitted team, starting immediately. If you are a problem-solver, a self-starter, a stationery enthusiast and enjoy working with your hands, we want to hear from you! We don’t have job openings very often, and we strive to find individuals who are a perfect fit, who want to stay and grow with us.

Tasks include: assembling paper and gift products (folding cards, banding tea towels, twining gift tags, etc); processing and packing retail and wholesale orders; helping out customers in store; organizing inventory; general studio and shop upkeep.

We are a small, family-owned retail and wholesale business, who strive to put people over profits. We offer a highly flexible, low-stress and caring work environment, with healthcare benefits and a liberal sprinkle of fun. This position is well suited for an individual who is looking for additional income to supplement their primary creative pursuits.

Qualifications:

  • Be able to travel to our studio located at 1231 Woodbine Ave, East York

  • Have a desire to learn about the workings of a creative business, and enjoy wearing multiple hats

  • Have Saturday availability

  • Have an appreciation of stationery and paper goods

  • Be a fan of Gotamago products (not to be making a big deal of ourselves, but you would have problems selling our products if you don’t like them!)

  • Enjoy crafting and working with your hands; many of our tasks here are repetitive, and require sharp eyes and deft fingers

  • Be able to work in a dog-friendly environment, as we have a studio-dog, Frida, who is medium-sized and very gentle, but does shed quite a bit

Nice-to-haves:

  • Knowledge of google docs, g-mail and trello

  • Experience with online retail platforms such as Etsy and Shopify

  • Interest in social media, photography and content creation

  • Enjoy petting Frida and giving her belly-rubs
