Number of individual students required: 1-2

Petit Soleil is looking for an administrative whiz who can help us in all aspects of systematizing a start-up's operations so that we can scale our business! We are a local business that needs to attract local customers online, but we also deliver across Southern Ontario and are working to figure out how to ship live plants affordably and effectively.

The primary project requirements include:

  1. Setting up a bookkeeping program and process
  2. Setting up a CRM so that many customer "touches" can happen authentically yet in an automated fashion.
  3. Setting up a system to coordinate curbside pick ups, deliveries, shipping -- all whilst managing several products that have different production process and timelines (and plants that need to be cared for and cleaned up).

We’re excited to work with students who can help us not only brainstorm, but also execute a strategy to achieve:

  • Petit Soleil Studio is the first name people recommend for beautiful plants, handmade and natural supplies, advice, and experiential learning opportunities.

Some knowledge of Shopify would be extremely helpful.

Mentorship

Some day to day interaction. Weekly status meetings. I am a formally trained teacher and also mentored 20+ university student interns while in a management role in a social enterprise. Working with me will be positive and enriching experience.
