Two Brands. Real Businesses. Unlimited Opportunities to Learn.

Are you outgoing, creative, ambitious, and excited about building something from the ground up?

Do you love meeting new people, creating content, attending events, exploring social media, and discovering how businesses actually grow?

We want to meet you.

We're looking for an energetic, dependable, and creative individual to join a growing entrepreneurial team supporting two exciting businesses:

RamanRasa — An emerging premium spice brand focused on quality, authenticity, and thoughtfully sourced products.

Reel & Rank — A creative marketing and digital growth studio combining human storytelling, video production, search strategy, and AI-powered tools to help businesses grow.

This isn't a position where you'll spend all day watching someone else work.

You'll be involved in real projects, real sales opportunities, real creative campaigns, and real business operations.

You'll work directly with the founder and learn what it takes to launch, market, operate, and grow a business.

And yes, you'll be paid for your work, with additional opportunities to earn commissions based on sales performance.

What You'll Be DoingSales & Business Development

• Identify and approach potential customers, retailers, restaurants, and business clients.
• Help introduce RamanRasa products to local businesses and consumers.
• Prospect for Reel & Rank creative, marketing, and digital service clients.
• Assist with outreach, follow-ups, lead tracking, presentations, and sales meetings.
• Build relationships that turn conversations into customers.
• Earn additional commissions on qualifying sales and client acquisitions.

Social Media & Creative Content

• Help develop creative ideas for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and other digital platforms.
• Appear in videos or on camera when comfortable and mutually agreed.
• Assist with filming, editing, photography, storytelling, and promotional campaigns.
• Learn to use AI-assisted creative tools to improve content production.
• Help create engaging content for our brands and client projects.
• Bring fresh ideas, creativity, and personality to the team.

Events & Community Engagement

• Represent our brands at local events, markets, trade shows, and networking opportunities.
• Help organize, promote, and host brand activities.
• Confidently introduce products and services to new people.
• Create content and build relationships during events.
• Help develop community partnerships and promotional opportunities.

Business & Warehouse Operations

• Assist with inventory organization, packing, order preparation, and shipping.
• Learn how products move from international suppliers to U.S. customers.
• Help maintain an organized, efficient workspace.
• Gain exposure to purchasing, logistics, customer service, and everyday business operations.
• Assist with safe, occasional physical warehouse tasks as needed.

What We're Looking For

Personality matters as much as experience.

Our ideal candidate is:

• Outgoing and personable: Enjoys meeting people and starting conversations.
• Well-spoken: Communicates clearly, professionally, and confidently.
• Creative: Brings original ideas and enjoys experimenting with content.
• Dependable and punctual: Shows up on time, follows through, and takes commitments seriously.
• Entrepreneurial: Curious about sales, marketing, business ownership, and how companies grow.
• Self-motivated: Comfortable taking initiative and learning new skills.
• Social-media savvy: Understands current platforms, content formats, and online trends.
• Coachable: Welcomes feedback and is excited to develop professionally.
• Adaptable: Comfortable switching between creative work, customer interactions, and operational tasks.
• Positive and energetic: Brings enthusiasm and a collaborative attitude to the team.

Qualifications

Required

• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a small team.
• Familiarity with major social media platforms.
• Reliable transportation for local business visits and events.
• Availability for occasional evenings or weekends.
• Ability to perform assigned warehouse duties safely, with reasonable accommodations where applicable.

Preferred, but Not Required

• Familiarity with Canva, CapCut, Adobe tools, or similar creative platforms.
• Interest in AI tools, digital marketing, SEO, and content production.
• Existing public-facing social media content or a portfolio demonstrating creativity and communication skills.
• College coursework in marketing, business, communications, entrepreneurship, or related fields.

No degree required. Students, recent graduates, career changers, and self-taught creators are welcome to apply.

What You'll Gain

We believe the best learning happens through real experience.

You'll have opportunities to learn directly from the founder about:

• Launching and operating a consumer product business.
• Sales prospecting, negotiation, and client relationships.
• Digital marketing, SEO, branding, and creative strategy.
• AI-assisted content creation and workflow automation.
• Video production and social media campaign development.
• E-commerce, inventory management, and international logistics.
• Entrepreneurship, financial fundamentals, and business growth.

You'll also have opportunities to develop portfolio-worthy work, participate in client projects, and take ownership of meaningful assignments.

This is a paid position with mentorship, not an unpaid internship.

Compensation & Growth

• Regular hourly compensation for all hours worked.
• Additional commission opportunities for qualifying sales and new client acquisitions, under a written commission plan.
• Hands-on professional development and mentorship.
• Opportunities to expand responsibilities as the businesses grow.
• A collaborative environment where initiative, creativity, and results are valued.

Who Will Thrive Here?

Someone who enjoys talking to people more than sitting silently behind a desk.

Someone who sees an event as an opportunity to build relationships.

Someone who has an idea for a video and wants to actually create it.

Someone who wants to understand how businesses make money, serve customers, and grow.

Someone who doesn't need to know everything today—but is excited to learn.

We can teach you business operations, AI tools, sales techniques, and creative workflows.

What we can't teach is genuine enthusiasm, integrity, curiosity, and the willingness to show up and try.

How to Apply

Please submit:

• A brief introduction about yourself and why this opportunity interests you.
• Your résumé or a summary of relevant experience.
• Links to any social media content, creative projects, or portfolio work you'd like to share (optional).
• Your general weekly availability.

Bonus: Send us a 30–60 second introductory video telling us who you are, what excites you, and why you'd be a great addition to our team. This is optional.
