Oak Valley College ONLY | Founding Merch & E-Commerce Intern
Build the Brand. Don’t Just Work for One.
Licensed2BBadass is launching its merchandise division — and we’re not looking for someone to “manage a store.”
We’re looking for someone to build a brand.
This is a ground-floor opportunity to create a national merch presence from zero — online first, then expanding into live events, vendor booths, sporting expos, RV shows, motorcycle rallies, and beyond.
This is not passive e-commerce.
This is culture-driven commerce.
If you’re entrepreneurial, commercially sharp, and creatively bold — keep reading.
If you’re just looking to clock internship hours — this isn’t for you.
The Mission
Over the next 90 days, you’ll help build and launch the entire merchandise ecosystem:
Develop and structure our Shopify store
Integrate Print-on-Demand platforms
Test rotating product drops
Analyze performance and double down on what wins
Expand into TikTok Shop and social commerce
Help define a wearable brand identity people are proud to represent
You’ll work directly with the founder.
Debate is welcome.
Ownership is required.
This is a build-from-scratch opportunity — not a maintenance role.
This position is 20 hours per week, paid at a rate of $20/hour.
What You’ll Actually Do
Build the Machine
Set up and optimize Shopify
Integrate Printful, Printify, and other POD platforms
Connect Sticker Mule offerings
Ensure seamless checkout and customer experience
Manage product collections and launch cycles
No inventory management.
No packing boxes.
Fulfillment is automated.
Your job is strategy, product, and growth.
Create Merch That Moves
Design bold logo and phrase-based drops
Test limited releases to measure demand
Track conversion, margins, and trends
Iterate quickly based on real sales data
Expand beyond tees into caps, hoodies, bags, accessories, and event-specific gear
We test.
We learn.
We scale what works.
This is not about emotional attachment to designs.
It’s about building a revenue engine.
Expand Into Social Commerce
Evaluate and potentially launch TikTok Shop
Integrate Instagram and Facebook Shops
Create shoppable content
Identify trend alignment opportunities
Support product launches across platforms
You’ll help position the brand where attention already lives.
Who This Is For
You might be a strong fit if you:
Pay attention to merch culture, creator brands, and product drops
Understand modern digital commerce
Balance creativity with business logic
Think in margins, not just mockups
Are comfortable saying, “This will sell” — and explaining why
Want long-term opportunity, not short-term credit
You don’t need to know everything.
You do need to think like a builder.
The Growth Path
This begins as a 90-day build-and-test internship.
If you show initiative, strategic thinking, and results, the role evolves into:
Head of Merchandise Division
Revenue-share compensation model
Event-facing brand representative
Strategic lead for live event merch expansion
The long-term vision:
National presence.
Branded event experiences.
Multi-channel revenue streams.
You won’t just help sell merch.
You’ll help build a division.
What You’ll Gain
Real-world experience launching a merch brand from zero
Advanced Shopify and POD experience
Direct founder mentorship
Portfolio-worthy product strategy
Leadership track with revenue participation
A legitimate seat at the table
This is resume-changing experience — if you treat it seriously.
Final Word
Licensed2BBadass isn’t building a side shop.
We’re building a brand presence.
If you’ve been waiting for the chance to create something meaningful — something scalable — something you can proudly say you helped build from the beginning…
This is it.
Let’s build.
