We're an employee-owned whole-animal butcher shop in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. We provide local, sustainably-sourced meats alongside your favorite international provisions (think bags of MSG and Duke’s mayonnaise) to our rad-as-hell customers and neighbors. We aim to provide professorial know-how and an approachable, warm atmosphere, all while jamming to bitchin’ tunes and having a good time.

Prospect Butcher Co. is seeking full-time help! We’re looking for someone who’s down to make sausage kits and biscuits, field questions about yuzu kosho and crepinettes, and help our dope customers with everything from cheek bacon to wild hare.

Your primary task will be to act as a protein consultant to customers. You’ll coach them through how much of which cut they should purchase, walk them through cuts they’ve never tried, and make them feel confident cooking anything in the case. Additionally, you'll also be working side by side with our head butcher with whole animal breakdowns and cutting for the case.

There’s going to be plenty of opportunity to help with sausage production, making bacons, hams, duck confit, etc. etc. etc.

We’re a small team in a small space; everyone needs to be willing to help out with the register, break down chickens, slice charcuterie, make sandwiches, wash a dish, and provide warm, personable service to (seriously) the best customers in the game. 

You need to:

• Have had at least 2 years experience dealing directly with animal protein. Doesn't need to be as a whole animal butcher -- a meat cutter in a supermarket, prep cook at a restaurant, as long as you've worked with meat before in some capacity.
• Be able to handle the physical demands of the role: standing for long stretches, lifting 40+ lbs., working with knives 
• Be willing to jump in wherever help is needed; complete, scientific knowledge of butchery isn’t required, but a checked ego is
• Be punctual and eager to learn
• Be an avid home cook, ideally with some strong opinions on what one can do with a variety of cuts of meat
• Be flexible -- we’re a brand new company, opening during the pandemic. We have many aspects of our shit together, but certainly not all. We’re still finding our footing, so getting in on the ground floor of something (and all the authorship and frustration that entails) should appeal to you.

What we offer: Dental, paid vacation, company equity, store discount. We know the work is hard, so we give every employee a slice of the pie after a vesting period.
