Work for Soul Lift Cacao

Work for Soul Lift Cacao

We are currently taking resumes for an in-person position at our cacao shop in north Portland, Oregon.

The ideal candidate for this position is a "people person" who would love to learn all about our ethically sourced cacao model and spend their time helping and teaching people who come into the shop.

Since we are a start-up where things change frequently, the ideal candidate is also adaptable and okay with a sometimes-fast-paced environment.

A part-time position would be mostly focused on FOH duties. We'd consider taking on a full-time position if, in addition to helping with FOH, someone is willing and qualified to also help with more BOH duties (especially e-commerce shipping and product packing).

  • Helping and educating customers
  • Point-of-sale checkout
  • Making drinks using a blender

COMPENSATION & HOURS:

  • Increase to $19 per hr after fully trained (typically 1 month)
    • PT would be around 25 hrs per week (3-4 days per week). FT would be 32-40 hrs per week. In either case, regular weekend availability is mandatory.
      • 3-month bonus (specific offer made upon hiring)

      SCHEDULE: Shift hours are currently in the 11:15am-6pm range. We are currently open Thurs-Sun but hope to expand soon. We are closed on all federal holidays. Time off is flexible with at least two weeks notice, but unpaid.

      BENEFITS:
      • PTO based on hourly accrual
      • Free cacao drink with any 4 hour shift
      • 10% staff discount on other in-house purchases
      • Local employee discount at many shops on Mississippi Ave

      REQUIRED ATTRIBUTES:

      • Weekend availability (both Saturday and Sunday) and a willingness to loosely commit to this position for a minimum of one year (not a formal contract).
      • Food handler card (or willingness to get one) and familiarity with food safety code.
      • Effective, mature written and verbal communication skills
      • No issues taking instructions and working with authority.
      • Good organization skills and ATTENTION TO DETAIL
      • Self-reliance/Adaptability/Resilient attitude
      • Friendly demeanor, but ability to focus quietly when needed
      • Ability to work in teams and alone
      • Ability to ask for help if something's wrong or you don't know the answer
      • Ability to impress customers with your thoughtfulness
      • Ability to lift up to 35lbs

      Please email hello [at] soulliftcacao.com with a couple paragraphs about why you're interested, and attach your resume as a PDF (or Docx). Also include two professional references. And name your favorite kind of cacao or chocolate bar. We will only reply to messages that include this!

      We'll send a pre-interview survey that helps us select candidates for interviews. Thanks for your interest.
