STUDIO ASSISTANT

Posted July 2, 2019

Gotamago is a small, family-owned retail and wholesale 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. This is a position that can lead to a full-time management position in the future.

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 two super friendly shop dogs, 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
• Help set-up and manage workshops
• Pet the dog and entertain the boss toddler

If you are the right person for this job, please email your resume to lichia@gotamago.com with the subject “I'm the One Pho Gotamago”, and tell us about yourself. We look forward to hearing from you!

Please note that due to the volume of applications, we are only able to contact selected candidates.
