  • Managing existing and receiving new inventory 
  • Customer service (in person, phone, and email)
  • Working closely with owner and other team members to meet sales goals and grow the business (i.e. staying on top of trends, representing customer’s voice).

Requirements:

If you relate to the following, we think you could be a great fit for our team: 

  • You have a love for independent design and a passion for jewelry, self-care, and artisan goods.
  • Your friends would describe you as outgoing, warm, and vibrant with a friendly disposition.

  • You are looking to develop a wide skillset while learning the ins and outs of running a small business.
  • You appreciate organization and efficiency and consider yourself a self-starter that takes initiative. 
  • You thrive in an environment that keeps you busy with a wide variety of responsibilities.
  • You’re a creative person with an inclination for visually and aesthetically pleasing compositions (i.e. gift wrapping)
