Description

We are a busy, Manhattan-based, fine wine retail store looking for a full time salesperson who will be our initial contact person with our clients both in the shop and over the phone.

First and foremost, you must have a strong passion for great customer service. We are looking for someone with enough energy to meet the demands of our fast paced sales floor.

Whether you’re a knowledgeable wine lover or someone who’s passionate or curious about the fascinating world of fine wine and spirits, we want you. We have a world class wine selection and discerning customers who expect top-notch service, but we are also big proponents of learning on the job.

This means we don’t expect you to be a Master Sommelier, but an interest in wine and some basic knowledge (can you tell your Barolos from your Bordeaux?) is a huge plus.

We believe in education, including on the job training (yes that means tasting wines!) and having a good time together while working.

Responsibilities:
Greet customers and make them feel welcome - our absolute first priority!
Answer the phones with an actual smile on your face.
Triage issues from sales to logistics - we have a huge team to support you.
Advise customers on wine purchases, or direct them to another salesperson with more extensive knowledge
Be computer literate to learn our POS system, email, and support apps
Handle cash and credit card sales
Maintain general tidiness in the store
Be able to carry a case of wine (roughly 40lbs).

Requirements
You must have availability of at least one weekend day, ideally Saturday.
Be able to work nights (we close at 8 or 9pm depending on the night)
Available to work from now through December (we are closed half day on Thanksgiving, all day Christmas and New Years Day)

Hourly rates are competitive and will vary depending on your experience.

Vacation
