About the Opportunity We're looking for an ambitious, business-minded self-starter to join our small, entrepreneurial team in Hamilton. This is an ideal opportunity for a current business student, recent graduate, or someone eager to gain real-world experience in entrepreneurship, sales, and business operations. We operate with a startup mentality fast-moving, hands-on, and constantly evolving. No two days are quite the same, and we're looking for someone who thrives in that kind of environment. The ideal candidate is a bit of a jack-of-all-trades: highly organized, resourceful, comfortable wearing multiple hats, and equally willing to tackle the big-picture projects and the less glamorous day-to-day tasks that keep a business running. You'll work directly with the business owner and gain firsthand exposure to the realities of entrepreneurship, from business development and customer relationships to e-commerce, logistics, and operations. We're particularly interested in someone who takes initiative, follows through, spots opportunities for improvement, and genuinely enjoys figuring things out. Sales & Business Development
