HELP WANTED
eCommerce/Administrative Assistant
Small but growing home-based business in Saint Louis (south city) needs Administrative Assistant with a passion for traditional folkroots music and ecommerce marketing. Perfect for old-time musician with strong entrepreneurial ability. Partnership potential for right person.
Who Should Apply for this Position?
This could be the right place if you are good with people and computers. You also need to be an excellent writer with verbal skills to match. And if you have the experience and ability to manage a multi-channel retail and wholesale ecommerce network on Amazon, eBay, and our Volusion shop, then you are absolutely ideal. Degree in Design, Marketing, or Advertising preferred but not required.
At this time we are just a small itty-bitty home-based business. We specialize in Folkroots Rhythm Instruments (plus bulb horns and rosin powder, but that's another story). So if your adrenaline starts flowing at the sound of traditional roots music such as Old-time, Jugband, Irish, Cajun, Early Jazz & Blues, Minstrel, and Ragtime, then you will want to give us a serious look. And if you play 5-string banjo, enjoy living history events, and like working with your hands, then so much the better.
Oh—and by the way, if you have some interest in the retail and wholesale distribution of hard-to-find folkroots rhythm instruments, then that's better still, because...well, that's what we do.
Ground Floor Opportunity
Excellent opportunity for ambitious person with enough drive, business savvy, horse sense, and problem-solving ability to ultimately run the operation. This position starts you as an Administrative Assistant which puts you on track to manage all company operations—and possibly even own the business in five years or so.
So if you are a resourceful and enterprising person who always wanted to find a half-pint business that is a leader in a niche environment—a growing business you can help take and ride along with to the next level and beyond, then this is the opportunity you've been looking for.
Partnership Potential
Definite partnership potential for right person with administrative, marketing, ecommerce, and entrepreneurial skills.

Dream Job for Right Person
If you already know how to administer a multi-channel online inventory, then you will lift sales and earn a significant income right away. But if you need to learn how to manage products on Amazon, eBay, and Volusion, then we will help you learn how. We will also show you how to create UPC numbers, manage SKUs, sync the inventory, fulfill orders, and handle every aspect of the business. As your skills broaden and develop, and as you build sweat equity, you can earn a stake in the business that positions you towards owning a piece of the pie.
Compensation
Compensation is a percentage of company gross sales (not commissioned sales). So the more sales the company generates, the more income you earn. To be clear, this is not a job in sales - but a position with genuinely unlimited income potential for a creative and resourceful person with strong entrepreneurial ability. So if you like the idea of compensation based on your contribution to the success of the company, then we should talk.
Apply Now
If you are the kind of person who thrives in a fast paced yet relaxed (and smoke-free) environment—a place where you must deal with one mind-boggling problem after the next. A place that will definitely challenge your administrative and problem-solving abilities. A place where your creative skills and resourcefulness can lead to you running the business in a few years...then apply for this once-in-a-lifetime position now, while you still have the chance.
