Think you’re our next team member?
We’re in search of a multifaceted individual to serve in a combination Office Manager + Marketing Associate position. The right dog-lover is someone who understands how packing orders and customer service relates to a brand and its marketing. Charged with a sense of responsibility and a natural attention to detail, our future Office Manager understands that each customer is important, every order affects our bottom line, and a positive experience with Lucy & Co. helps us build brand loyalty.
Due to the versatility of this role, this person is also a creative go-getter who loves DOGS + DESIGN with equal passion! He or she lives and breathes social media, is up on the most exciting things happening on Instagram, enjoys all elements of content creation (think: content planning + writing + photography + executing), and isn’t afraid to be proactive and make recommendations to his/her “boss.” No, really. Can you teach us Pinterest or Snapchat?!
We’re a small, multiple-hat-wearing kinda team - emphasis on team. So, we’re constantly learning new skills, teaching one another, lending a hand, rolling up sleeves, and saying “heck yes, we can!” As Lucy & Co. is a young company, we are constantly accepting new challenges with few guidelines, lots of determination, and no fear. Still with us? Does the thought of working closely with others, but running with your own project excite you?
