Part-Time Operations & Brand Coordinator Bori & Kong | Toronto, ON | Remote | ~10 hours/week to start About Bori & Kong Bori & Kong is an early-stage Korean-inspired food & beverage brand on a mission to reimagine misugaru (미숫가루) for a new generation. We’re taking a nostalgic Korean staple and building it into a modern, approachable brand through packaged products, beverages, pop-ups, catering, and eventually broader retail and foodservice opportunities. Following a successful first major pop-up, we’re preparing to launch our first packaged misugaru product in Ontario this fall. As we enter our next stage of growth, we’re looking for someone entrepreneurial, resourceful, and highly organized to join early and grow with us. The Role As one of Bori & Kong’s earliest team members, you’ll work directly with the founder to turn ideas into execution and help keep the business moving forward. This isn’t a traditional role with a fully established playbook. You’ll have the opportunity to work across different areas of the business, take ownership of projects, and gradually shape your role around both the needs of the company and your own strengths. Some of your initial responsibilities may include: Coordinating the launch of our first packaged misugaru product Managing timelines and communication with suppliers, freelancers, and other partners Coordinating packaging development, nutrition facts, labeling, and other product launch requirements Supporting production, inventory, Shopify, and order operations Helping manage social media and content planning (bonus if you're good with content creation!) Coordinating catering events, pop-ups, and other brand activations Researching potential vendors, partnerships, retail opportunities, and operational requirements Building simple processes and trackers to keep projects organized and moving Proactively identifying problems and opportunities and bringing recommendations to the founder We’d love to shape the role around what you’re great at. If you have experience in design, content, marketing, e-commerce, project management, or another relevant area, there will be opportunities to apply those skills and take greater ownership in those areas. Who We’re Looking For We care more about finding the right person with the right mindset than checking every box on a résumé. You may be a great fit if you: Are organized, dependable, and have strong follow-through Enjoy figuring things out independently when there isn’t already a process Can research an unfamiliar problem and come back with options and recommendations Are comfortable coordinating multiple people, projects, and deadlines Have an interest in food & beverage, CPG, branding, e-commerce, startups, or entrepreneurship Want to help build something, rather than simply execute a list of assigned tasks Experience in operations, project management, design, marketing, e-commerce, CPG, or food & beverage is an asset, but we’re open to different backgrounds. Hours & Compensation Approximately 10 hours/week to start, with hours expected to grow over the following months as the business grows $20/hour to start (first compensation review after approximately 3 months, with the potential for an increase based on performance, responsibilities, and business needs) Primarily remote, with flexible working hours Weekly virtual weekend working session/check-in (approximately 1–3 hours) Occasional in-person participation for pop-ups, catering events, or other activations in the GTA Target start: Late September / early October 2026 Grow With Us We’re not hiring with the intention of keeping this as a 10-hour-per-week position forever. For the right person, we expect the role to grow in hours, responsibility, compensation, and leadership opportunities as Bori & Kong grows. We’re planning an opportunity for 1% equity to vest after one full year, subject to formal terms, with opportunities for additional equity in future years for someone who continues to grow with the company. If the business continues to grow as planned and there is a strong mutual fit, our goal is for this role to potentially develop into a full-time position with a competitive salary and benefits package within approximately one year. We’re looking for someone who wants to commit to the journey and become a meaningful part of the team over time. You’ll be joining at a stage where you can genuinely influence what Bori & Kong becomes - and where there is significant room to grow into greater ownership and leadership as we build the company.
