What are the responsibilities and job description for the Wine Buyer position at Gemini × Happy Ice Cream?
We’re a super small team curating a destination-worthy neighborhood shop of natural wines, ciders and beers from our favorite small producers. It’s a high-energy, multi-faceted operation at the happy intersection of wine, pizza and ice cream.
As the shop grows, we’re seeking an experienced, versatile wine pro to join our team — including wine buying, education, service and shopkeeping — with a well-rounded, Swiss army knife affinity for all aspects of our fast-paced, multi-tasking operation.
We are searching for someone with a confident base of wine knowledge who genuinely gets a kick out of interacting with people, thrives as a self-motivated member of a creative, problem-solving team and brings positive collaborative energy to the table.
The right candidate will have at least a handful of years of professional wine experience in a leadership role — service or retail — though we value humility, positivity and good humor over fancy certifications. Are you a somm who’s over fine dining? We just might be the place for you.
For a decade plus, we ran Michelin-starred Komi and Bon Appetit Best New Little Serow — in 2020, we left fine dining behind for more casual vibes and a higher quality of life.
We work Tuesday-Saturday; no super early mornings or brutal late nights. This is a full-time position with competitive wages, health benefits, paid days off and discounts on wine/food/ice cream. We’re closed Sundays, Mondays and major holidays, with paid vacation in summer and winter. If you’ve got something special to bring to the table, we’d love to hear from you.
