Corporate Sales Assistant

Dorndadda is a curated gift shop focused on thoughtful, creative, and locally inspired gifts. We combine physical retail with strong visual storytelling on social media, offering personalised gifts, artisan products, and trending gift items.

We are looking for a proactive, organized, and customer-focused person to drive weekly corporate sales outreach, support daily shop sales. This role combines business development, front-of-shop retail sales, and day-to-day shop operations.

The ideal person should be able to serve walk-in customers well, keep the shop running smoothly, follow up on orders, create simple sales opportunities, and spend 2 days each week visiting companies and organizations to introduce Dorndadda’s gifting services and pitch for bulk and corporate orders.
