Augusta, WI
This is the kind of role where you get to do a little of everything and actually see your impact. If you’re tired of being a tiny cog in a giant machine, this small team of 3 will feel like a breath of fresh air. You’ll work side by side with the owner, learn how a business runs from the inside out, and get hands-on experience in everything from bookkeeping to eCommerce. It’s perfect for someone who’s curious, flexible, and ready to grow, but also values stability, a Monday–Friday schedule, and a team that treats you like family, not a number.
