Totally Toronto Art INc
About Totally Toronto Art
Totally Toronto Art is a Toronto-based e-commerce business founded in 2014 by Pamela Johnston. The business sells wall art, prints, posters, mugs, tote bags, throw pillows, magnets, cards, postcards, notebooks, and stationery featuring original artwork by Toronto artists David Crighton, Rob Croxford, and Andrey Shmatnik. Most products are made in Toronto. We sell through three channels: our Shopify store, Etsy, and Faire.com for wholesale.
What we are looking for
We are looking for someone who is genuinely on their way. You don’t need to have done everything in this job description — but you need to show us you understand the world of e-commerce, that you learn quickly, and that, once you are confident you know what you are doing, you don’t wait to be told what to do next. You will be working directly alongside the owner, Pamela, as a genuine partner in the business.
A note on how we work together
Pamela knows this business inside and out — the products, the suppliers, the customers, and what it takes to keep it all moving. But she is also the founder, and founders get pulled in six directions at once. What this role requires is someone who brings their own organizational system and uses it to keep both of you on track.
If you are the kind of person who naturally creates structure around themselves and the people they work with, and you find satisfaction in being the organized one, this role will suit you well. It’s an opportunity to be mentored and learn the e-commerce business and become part of growing it.
The Role
The role has two sides. The digital side — managing the online store, product listings, email marketing, social media, blog content, and SEO — is done remotely and runs throughout the year. The operational side — order fulfillment, inventory tracking, and supplier pickups — is done in person at our office at 151 Yonge St and varies with the season. TTA’s wholesale buyers typically order a month or two ahead of the summer tourist season and Christmas, so fulfillment volume builds well before those periods. Retail sales are quieter in the first quarter and grow through the second half of the year.
Hours range from 15 per week in the quietest period to 30 at peak times. We will always give you as much notice as possible when volume is about to increase.
This is a part-time employment position. All source deductions — income tax, CPP, and EI — are handled by the employer. You will receive proper pay stubs and a T4. This is not a contract or freelance arrangement.
DutiesE-commerce store management — core responsibility

Personal qualities — this matters as much as experience
Students and recent graduates
We welcome applications from students and recent graduates. If you are building your career in e-commerce or digital marketing and can show us real curiosity and hands-on initiative — through a side project, a placement, your own shop, or anything else — we want to hear from you.
A note on pay and employment
Many part-time roles are offered as contract or freelance arrangements, which means no tax deducted at source, no CPP, no EI, and often a difficult April. This is not that.
As a part-time employee of Totally Toronto Art, your income tax, CPP, and EI will all be deducted and remitted on your behalf. You will receive pay stubs and a T4. There will be no surprise tax bill.
A note from Pamela
I have been running Totally Toronto Art since 2014 and I know this business inside and out — the products, the suppliers, the customers, and what it takes to keep it all moving. What I need now is not someone I have to teach. I need someone who already gets it, who brings their own sense of order to the role, and who wants to be part of something real.
If you have worked in e-commerce, know your way around Shopify, and want to join a small Toronto business that genuinely means something — part-time, flexible, and working directly with the founder — I would love to hear from you. You won’t be expected to know everything on day one. What I need is someone who is curious, capable, and willing to figure things out — and who will grow with this business over time.
