What are the responsibilities and job description for the PART TIME Retails Sales Associate position at Cold Spring General Store?
We are looking to bring on a new SALES ASSOCIATE at The Cold Spring General Store!
About Us: We are not your typical General Store!! Located on Main Street in Cold Spring for the past nine years, we proudly offer a boutique-style retail experience for our local and visiting customers by creating a warm atmosphere and stocking a carefully curated selection of clothing, home goods, books, craft beers and ciders, and locally sourced provisions, with a focus on handcrafted, U.S. made goods that have a story and a true soul behind them. We stock items for simple, everyday Hudson Valley living. New York's ever growing artisan population means we can stock items from more local vendors than ever before and that feels great!
We're excited to be inviting new sales associate to join our small and vibrant team at our Main Street store location. Retail and front-facing customer experience is required! We are looking for someone who is warm, personable, outgoing, responsible, well-organized and confident talking to others.
Floor Staff Duties: Be friendly, welcoming, and capable of multitasking while maintaining interaction with customers throughout the day. You must also be able to:
- learn our online Lightspeed Retail POS system at the register
- learn details about our products in order to inform and answer questions for our customers
- perform small, daily cleaning and lifting tasks
- intake inventory thoroughly and efficiently, and organize products on the floor and in storage
- answer phones and take detailed phone orders and messages for management
- be able to carry up to 25lbs on a semi-regular basis and stand for long periods throughout the day on the sales floor.
Since this is a retail store location, applicants for our sales associate position should be regularly available most weekends throughout the year and around the holidays, for shifts scheduled between the hours of 10:30am - 6:30pm. No overnights or late evenings will be expected, or required. We are a very small team so reliability and the ability to be prompt are a prerequisite. Once employees are fully-trained, shift will include opening and/or closing duties. Starting pay rate is based on experience.
The position starts at 2-3 days a week for 4-6 hours during the first few weeks, and we offer employees the opportunity to expand their shifts to 3-4 days a week with full duration shifts (up to 8 hours) as the season picks up, if desired. One weekend day is required.
Applicants must be located within a reasonable commute to the store. Knowledge of the surrounding area is a plus!
If you are interested in becoming a regular part of our team and joining a growing small business team, feel free to send over your resume to our store manager with a short paragraph about yourself!
