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 pork floss and Cafe du Monde) 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! You can break a round in 5 minutes? Rad. You've only ever broken down a chicken, but you have a great attitude? Also rad. We have space for different levels of experience and expertise and would love to hear from you if you feel like our shop could be a good fit.

Above all, you 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.

There’s going to be plenty of opportunity to help with sausage production and our growing prepared foods program. You’ll also assist with weekly deliveries of whole pork, lamb, and beef, though whole-animal butchery experience isn’t required.

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:

• Be able to work full-time! Unfortunately, this isn't a case of "part-time for the right fit" - we need someone who can commit to 40 hours/week.
• 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; experience 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 - as a growing business, we're always developing new structures, recipes, and products. Collaboration (and all the authorship and frustration that entails) plays a big part in how we operate.
