We are looking for someone to help usher the brand into even greater success by helping to create new products, while also expanding reach and optimizing connections with our IPs. In this role, your responsibilities will grow from connecting us with necessary partners and establishing relationships to - providing high level operations and sales tactics to push growth and volume while maintaining a positive cultural product to our audience. 

 

This position compensation is still being worked out as we are a startup and the role would be incentivized by profit sharing and small compensation as part time to begin with. As our business increases, the position will be a leading player within our organization with salary and profit sharing.
