Part-Time E-Commerce Assistant — Luxury & Vintage
VIDA STYLE Shop | Old Town Alexandria, VAOn-site | $17–$20 per hour
Exceptional Fashion Deserves Exceptional Presentation
Love vintage, luxury, and the thrill of finding something extraordinary? Bring your Shopify or e-commerce experience to VIDA STYLE, located in charming Old Town Alexandria, where you’ll help sell the standout pieces selected for our curated online store.
Think archival designer pieces, cult favorites, luxurious finds, and one-of-a-kind treasures—the distinctive, quirky, beautifully crafted merchandise that fashion lovers appreciate.
You’ll complement our e-commerce specialist’s schedule. You’ll independently carry out established workflows for photography, Shopify listings, and order fulfillment, keeping clear notes so work moves smoothly between shifts. We’re looking for someone who combines a love of fashion with technical curiosity, resourcefulness, and enthusiasm for growing online sales.
What You’ll Do
- Make exceptional pieces shine. Photograph merchandise using thoughtful lighting, accurate color, and clear views of important details.
- Create listings that sell. Write compelling product titles and descriptions with accurate measurements, materials, sizing, and details that explain what makes each piece special.
- Help shoppers find us. Apply search engine optimization (SEO) practices to product listings and support product visibility through Google Merchant Center and Google Shopping.
- Build customer trust. Clearly describe and photograph blemishes, imperfections, and signs of wear.
- Keep orders moving. Help maintain accurate online inventory and carefully prepare, pack, and ship purchases.
- Find solutions. Investigate routine technical issues, research answers, and use help documentation and Shopify support chat before requesting assistance. Explain what you’ve tried when escalating unresolved problems.
- Bring fresh ideas. Suggest improvements to listings, search visibility, and the shopping experience that help turn browsing into purchases.
- Follow through. Complete assigned priorities without repeated reminders, check your work, and communicate progress and obstacles promptly.
What You Bring
- Strong technical aptitude and an independent approach to problem-solving: comfortable learning unfamiliar systems, investigating issues, and testing solutions before seeking assistance.
- Hands-on familiarity with Shopify or similar e-commerce platforms. Experience through work, school, personal projects, or your own resale shop counts.
- A love of designer, luxury, vintage, and distinctive fashion, with curiosity about brands, craftsmanship, and what makes a piece desirable.
- An active interest in online sales and understanding what helps products get discovered and purchased.
- An eye for photography and a willingness to learn effective product lighting.
- Strong grammar, spelling, and clear, engaging writing.
- Reliability, enthusiasm, attention to detail, and pride in polished, accurate work.
- Ability to work independently on assigned tasks, collaborate with our e-commerce specialist, and apply feedback.
We can train the right person on our Shopify workflows, product photography, SEO, and Google Merchant Center. You bring curiosity, technical aptitude, follow-through, and a sincere interest in growing online sales. Extensive professional experience isn’t required.
