The number of days worked per week will be variable but will consist of full day eight hour shifts.

The ideal candidate will have finished school and preferably have significant work experience in a customer-facing role.

This could take the form of crafting effective social media posts, updating web pages, serving as liaison with various local arts or business initiatives, etc. The ideal candidate will take a vested interest in promoting the business, since their own role and compensation will expand as the business continues to develop.
