    Description

    Hola, Hello, Namaste & Sawadee!

    We design and develop Fair Trade products with ethnic minority groups in Thailand and Nepal and are working remotely, hatching a marketing strategy plan in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

    We are an American/British expat family who have lived in Thailand and Nepal for the past 20 years.

    In Chiang Mai, beginning in May, we are looking for someone to help make some changes to our Shopify website, do some sales research and help with some product photography and stop-motion videos.

    General creativity, and an outgoing personality for both posts are the keys to building this global fair trade vision.

    We also continually seek a digital marketing wizard with knowledge in Tik-Tok shops!

    We've been working with talented artisans in Nepal, Thailand, India and Bali for close to twenty years. We love meeting new people who are out traveling the world, challenging their social norms and therefore making the planet a better place for everyone to coexist!

    This workaway post is for someone who looks at life and business with an out-of-the-box approach. This workaway is a creative post for someone who is a go-getter, who is self-motivated and a team player. This workawayer enjoys being challenged and taking on new initiatives and must work well with an international team. Excellent communication skills is a must.

    Being a fair trade company, our emphasis is not predominantly on the product.....It is on the people. We travel the world, meet new people, listen to their needs and assist them in organizing co-ops to easier channel their products to the western markets.

    It is our mission to encourage travel because we believe that it is the key to a safer, kinder world.
