PART-TIME STUDIO ASSISTANT

Posted Jul 7, 2021

Gotamago is a family-owned, retail and wholesale micro-business, operating out of our studio-shop in Toronto, Canada. We are an inclusive company that puts people instead of profit first. We have a ton of fun, drink lots of coffee and tea, and enjoy geeking out over washi tapes and fountain pens.

We are currently looking for a part-time studio assistant, commencing immediately. As with any position in a small business with a tight-knit team, you will be wearing many hats. Our ideal candidate is a self-starter, with high work ethics and the ambition to grow and learn over time.

Candidate must:

• Live in Toronto and be able to travel to our studio in East York
• Possess excellent communication and customer service skills
• Possess high attention to detail, and a great attitude
• Love stationery and (ahem) Gotamago products
• Enjoy being around dogs (we currently have one friendly shop dog, and would welcome you bringing yours!)
• Be self-motivated and capable of working autonomously
• Be interested in learning about the nuts and bolts of a creative business
• Have availability on weekends

Not required, but nice to have skills:

• Experience with Shopify, Etsy and Trello
• Knowledge of basic html and Google Docs
• Interest in social media, photography and content creation
• Have good penmanship, and enjoy doing creative things

Sample Tasks:

• Assemble cards and other products
• Package orders and coordinate shipment
• Help customers in the shop and handle transactions
• Perform inventory counts
• Restock front of shop and help with display
• Edit website pages
• Maintain online databases
• Pet the dog and entertain the boss baby
