• Participate in regular communication and planning sessions with the founder
• Adapt quickly to evolving priorities in a fast-paced startup environment
• Prepare for future responsibilities such as marketing emails and distributor outreach

• 1–2 years of hands-on e-commerce experience
• Proficiency managing the Shopify platform
• Strong organizational and administrative skills
• Excellent communication skills for daily collaboration
• Ability to work U.S. business hours with Central Time overlap
• Adaptability and problem-solving skills in a startup setting
