I'm hiring!

Are you passionate about small businesses, e-commerce, and creative entrepreneurship? Maker / Scholar, a Boston-based small business, is looking for a part-time Artist's Assistant through the holidays! This role will require 4-12 hours of work per week and you'll be able to learn the ins and outs of running a thriving local business.

About the artist in question:

My name is Becca and I am the one woman show behind Maker / Scholar!  Maker / Scholar is a woman-owned, South Boston-based small business that makes original and custom art focused on all of my favorite things: food, cocktails, and pets. This holiday season will be my busiest yet as I work to make custom gifts from scratch while also keeping my website and retail partners stocked with Maker / Scholar goods. I have my MBA from Harvard Business School and I am a big nerd about all things small business. I am super excited to give whoever fills this role a lot of hands on experience and mentorship in creative entrepreneurship.

Role & Responsibilities:

  • Packaging products for sale in-store and packing online orders with care
  • Assisting with social media management and email marketing (bonus points if you love content creation!)
  • Running the Maker / Scholar booth at a holiday market for one weekend
  • Helping with other operational and strategic business tasks as needed (flexibility is key)

Ideal Candidate:

  • Interested in e-commerce, retail, entrepreneurship, and/or the Boston small business scene
  • Excited to be hands-on and willing to wear multiple hats in a fast-paced environment
  • Familiar with Instagram, TikTok, and other social media / digital marketing tools
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and reliable
  • Creative and proactive problem solver who is passionate about helping a small business grow

If you've ever considered selling your art, launching a side hustle, or getting more involved in the Boston small business community, this is an awesome opportunity to gain real-world experience working for a local brand. If you would be jazzed to help me survive / thrive this holiday season, I’d love to hear from you!
