About the Role

Dormeleven is looking for a highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented Operations & Brand Assistant to help support the day-to-day operations of our growing fashion brand.

As our first hire, you'll work directly alongside the founder and gain hands-on experience across nearly every part of the business. While order fulfillment and inventory management are the foundation of this role, you'll also assist with photoshoots, product development, customer service, marketing initiatives, sample management, and studio operations.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who loves fashion, enjoys wearing multiple hats, and wants to help build an emerging brand from the inside.

Location & Schedule

This is a fully in-person, part-time position based in Houston, Texas.

• 2–3 weekdays per week
• Approximately 15–20 hours per week

What We're Looking For

Reliability & Professionalism

You're dependable, punctual, and take pride in producing high-quality work. You thrive in a fast-paced startup environment and understand that every task contributes to the customer experience.

Organization

You enjoy creating systems and keeping things organized—from inventory shelves and samples to shipping supplies and studio spaces.

Initiative

You're proactive and don't wait to be told what needs to be done. You enjoy solving problems, anticipating needs, and supporting wherever help is needed.

Adaptability
