Company description

Curio Spice Co. is a small, woman-owned business dedicated to finding unique, organic spices around the world and sourcing them in a sustainable way. We aim to create an intense sensory and educational experience for people who visit our store and to bring them closer to the communities of farmers around the world who cultivate these flavors.

Our products are sold online, directly to restaurants, at farmers’ markets, and through other retail stores around North America.

Job description

We’re looking for someone who can help us manage inventory, our wholesale network, and the back of house operations of our retail shop. It’s an interesting and complex business keeping track of almost one hundred different sources, especially keeping in mind growing seasons and the scarcity of many of the unique spices we source -- not to mention the weather and other geopolitical shifts that impact our ability to work around the world.

We’d love to have you as part of our small, passionate team!!

Specific Responsibilities Include:

Manage inventory
Manage wholesale accounts
Manage back of house operations for the retail shop
Coordinate with bookkeeper
Assist managing front of house staff when front of house manager is not available
Build up systems to make running the business more efficient
Being a small business, we’ll probably need help with all sorts of things so being flexible and a self-starter is very helpful!
