About this Job
We are looking for highly enthusiastic, self-reliant and thoughtful individuals to be part of our sales team. Sales Associates sell our products at farmers market stands and local events while serving as ambassadors of the brand with great customer service and product knowledge. We’re looking for fun people who like to actively seek out customer engagement. An ability to work independently and problem-solve in a variety of circumstances is key, and a considerate attitude and friendliness are musts.
This is an incredibly rewarding job (and you get to spread the idea of local and low waste living around this great city), but it is also a lot of hard work. You must be able to set up and break down pop up tents, tables and display pieces. The summers are hot and you must be prepared to be on your feet for long hours getting sweaty.
Locations Available:
- Inner Atlanta: Morningside, Ponce City Market, Grant Park
- North and East Atlanta: Decatur, Avondale Estates, Brookhaven, Tucker
- OTP : Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta

- Engage and talk to customers at festivals, farmers markets, and pop up events.
