Swiss Cottage Designs is looking for a jack of all trades to join the team as our Office Manager / Design Assistant extrodinere. We are a custom design studio based out of Brooklyn, New York. We specialize in illustration and wedding/ stationery design.
I am looking for a responsible, conscientious and above all enthusiastic office manager to come in and whip things into shape. We are a small business with an ever growing client list that requires a lot of attention and organization. Office Manager duties would consist of:
-Corresponding with clients on a regular basis
-Answering all new inquires
-Managing client needs whether by quotes, following up, invoicing, etc.
-Keeping track of our client calendar and timelines
The ideal candidate will be a skilled communicator and writer who has that extra flair for the personal details. You need to be quick on your feet and self motivated with excellent time management skills. Organization and attention to detail are a must!

-Assisting on edits
-Helping to jump start projects
-Illustrating
-Graphic Design/ layout projects
I am looking for someone who is a good listener, quick learner and a problem solver. This person will be my right hand man and will know the in’s and out’s of the business as much as I do. You’ll be doing lots of crafting and production so a love of projects is a must. If you have any interest in learning how a small business works, this would be a great opportunity to get involved. You’ll have your hand in all aspects of the business and will be an integral part of it’s growth and success.
Because of the small nature of this business, the right attitude, personality and sense of humor are just as important as background and experience. The office is a home studio in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Although this is a full-time position, the hours are flexible. This would be a great opportunity for a motivated, young professional wanting to be a part of a team while working on their own creative projects. The start date would be ASAP.
