Fashion Handbag Company Assistant, Beverly Hills

Looking for an enthusiastic person to serve as a general assistant in a small but established high-end handbag company, as well as a personal assistant to the owner. Should be well-spoken, professional, learn quickly, organized, take direction well, bright, personable and willing to work hard! Will report to the CEO/owner.

Tasks span all areas of the business, and include:
- Answering phones/taking orders/customer service
- Data/invoice entry
- Packing and shipping orders to customers and vendors
- Pick-ups and deliveries to and from local vendors and factories
- Creating line sheets, and photographing and Photoshopping products for them
- Managing inventory/labeling/packing products
- Assistance at trade shows (sales and set-up)
- General office assistance with supplies and keeping the office in order

The main task as the owners’ personal assistant is to sell a large number of personal designer clothing items on eBay. This includes the preparation of the items for sale (steaming, dry cleaning etc), photographing them, creating the detailed descriptions, researching the correct pricing, listing the item, managing the shipping, and documenting all the sales.

The job is part-time, ideally 3-4 days a week from 2pm-5pm, paid hourly. It can grow into a full-time contract position over time with increased responsibility depending on capabilities and willingness to learn, and the companies’ needs. There is a lot of potential for growth, coming out of this recession!
