Job description

Saxelby Cheesemongers is New York’s first cheese shop devoted to locally sourced cheeses. Saxelby’s sells a premier selection of regional farmstead cheese to retail customers in our Essex Market shop as well as a growing number of restaurants and shops throughout the city.

We pride ourselves on selecting cheeses from small producers who farm sustainably with respect for their land and animals.

The range of cheeses available at Saxelby Cheesemongers changes throughout the year as we work with and celebrate the seasonal nature of cheesemaking.

We are looking for a fun, energetic, outgoing individual to sell cheese at our Essex Street Market shop during the holiday season (from now until mid January).

Previous experience selling cheese in a retail environment is necessary. Applicants must be extremely detail-oriented, good at multi-tasking, and most of all, must love people and the fine art of selling cheese!

This position is full time and involves 3 days per week behind the counter at our Essex Market location, as well as 2 days per week at our wholesale facility in Red Hook.

Responsibilities include:
opening and closing the shop, managing daily cash, interacting with retail customers and chefs, cutting and wrapping cheeses, preparing wholesale orders for pickup, mail order, stocking and organizing inventory.

Applicants should be prepared to commit until mid January 2013.

Saxelby Cheesemongers is a small company, but we’re growing by leaps and bounds! The opportunity to start new projects and to craft a unique position with us is definitely there for the right applicant!
