The main thing that makes Murray’s special is our passion for cheese. We share that with our friends and customers! As a Murray’s Cheese head monger at our Bleecker Street store, you campaign for some of the best cheeses in the world while supervising production and the salesfloor. You are responsible for leading the team when a manager isn’t present, ensuring the cheese case is always stocked and properly rotated, and customer service is in tip-top shape.
You are responsible for guiding customers through their wildest meat and cheese dreams, transporting them through an interactive, fun, and energetic experience. You are constantly tasting and learning about new products and pairings in order to deliver our industry-leading services.
