Join us! Job description

Chef Collective is hiring for a Cheesemonger position! We are looking for someone to be the bedrock of the production team - crank out orders and get the trucks loaded in the morning, communicate with customers about their orders, as well as making sure all the cheeses are happy and the warehouse is organized in the afternoons. If you've got experience with professional social media, that's great! We're looking to expand our footprint in this area.  

If you are a chef who is ready to try something else outside the kitchen but who still wants to stay knee deep in the world of amazing food OR if you’re a cheesemonger who wants to explore another side of the cheese and specialty food business, this could be the perfect position for you.

If you are interested in good food, have an endless curiosity for learning, and are comfortable wearing many hats, you have found your home!
