Production Associate Shaker & Spoon

  • Date Posted May 05, 2022
  • Location Brooklyn, NY
  • Category Production
  • Job type Full-Time
Company description Shaker & Spoon is a small but fast-growing food business with a kitchen in Red Hook, Brooklyn. We produce monthly curated cocktail kits (think Blue Apron for craft cocktails) and ship them all over the country along with a handful of supporting products. Our small and dedicated team is focused on continuing to grow the company and to create unique, fun products. We pride ourselves on running an ethical company that sources high-quality products from other small and medium-sized companies, donates both money and products to charity, and treats people with dignity and respect. Job description

You’ll be part of a lean, passionate team that ensures that our operations are smooth and functional. Your main job will be supporting all aspects of production—from our large monthly box assembly lines, to putting together various box components and kits, to cooking up our small batch syrups. You’ll also help carry out our day-to-day shipping of kits and individual products and help maintain our production facility.

This is a great, full-time job for someone looking to build their career in a meaningful small-business setting, who’s interested in growing along with a company and creating a foothold within it. Ample opportunity exists to prove yourself and move on up the ladder. An interest in cocktails is not required, though probably wouldn’t hurt.

You’ll work directly alongside our team of associates and temp production staff in our facility in Red Hook and virtually communicating with our remote team as well. There are lots of Slacks back and forth and video calls on occasion :)

We have systems in place for how things work, but there’s always room for improvement, and we hope to be able to benefit from your fresh eyes and ideas (we’re always open!) while also showing you what has worked so far and what hasn’t, why, and what we need going forward.

Lastly, please note that this job is quite physically demanding. There will be 50+ lb boxes to lift and large pallets to maneuver. This isn’t the majority of the job, but it is an important requirement. The job also requires lots of standing, constant use of your hands and wrists for various repetitive tasks, and a good deal of lifting/carrying throughout the day.

Main Responsibilities

  • Perform in all aspects of production, from assembly lines to cooking and bottling syrups, and everything in between, sometimes individually and sometimes as part of a larger team.

  • Eventually lead smaller teams of temp production staff within our larger production.

  • Assist in day-to-day receiving and inventory, shipping operations, and facility maintenance.

Requirements include:

  • Exceptional organizational skills

  • Great communication skills—written and oral

  • Strong attention to detail while being able to see the big picture

  • Good sense of what you don't know or understand and ability to ask pertinent questions

  • Sense of urgency while maintaining calmness and collectedness

  • Ability to quickly and creatively problem solve, prioritize, and adapt

  • Flexible, agile, able to deal with ambiguity

  • Ready to conquer any task—must be a team player

  • Must be able to lift 50+ lbs over the course of the day and to maneuver a pallet jack (or learn how)

  • Must be able to stand for long periods of time and to use your hands and wrists for repetitive tasks all day long (not the same task all the time, but all of them using the hands in some way)

  • Previous food industry experience a plus but not required

  • This is a great role for (theater) artists, event coordinators, and others who may be looking for a career change to something where they'll be working with both their brain and their hands

Compensation this position is : hourly, $20/hr + Application instructions
