Digital Marketing and Creative Assisstant

DIGITAL MARKETING & CREATIVE ASSISTANT

Hybrid (Remote/In-Person) – Downtown Toronto (minutes from OCAD University)

Part-time 15-20 hours/week (Freelance contract with possibility for more hours)

$25/hour

1. ABOUT THE BRAND

We're Little River Co. – a Toronto-based fashion and e-commerce brand that designs original clothing and also collaborates on officially licensed collections with major anime studios and licensors. Our work blends storytelling and design into fashion.

2. ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring a Digital Marketing & Creative Assistant to work directly with the founders as a creative and operational right-hand. This isn't a typical assistant role. You'll help transform raw content into polished brand assets while also supporting the technical and operational side of marketing and Shopify.

Think of this as a junior creative director meets marketing operator. You'll help execute across content, ads, and backend brand operations so the founder can focus on scaling the business.

This role is for someone versatile and adaptable. You don't need to know everything already – Shopify, Meta ads, or specific tools can be learned. What matters most is your creative eye, attention to visual detail, and willingness to learn. A strong aesthetic sense can't be taught, and that's what we value most.

Because this is a hybrid role located minutes from the OCAD campus, it's a great fit for students or early-career creatives looking for flexible, part-time work while gaining hands-on experience inside a growing fashion brand.
