Our growing operation is looking for a PT assistant starting at 1-2 days a week to help with operational support and in-store retail assisting customers. This role will work closely with the owner and grow into solo retail shifts at the shop. As our business grows, so will the opportunities for growth within this position.
This job will be comprised of:
Shop Ops
—opening the shop and setting the mood (light incense! Turn on the music! Get the vibe right)
—keep things tidy, orderly, and tagged on the floor
—greet and assist customers from entrance through checkout
—packaging and mail drops for shipped orders
—assist with shop website operations; uploading new products, etc.
—jewelry display cleaning and re-merchandising
—cleaning of new vintage furniture pieces that come in
—running local errands if needed
Ideal candidates will:
—have an appreciation for furniture and a love of interiors. (Totally cool if you don’t live and die by design, but it’ll make the job more fun if you love art.)
—have strong communication stills, both written and verbal, and feel at home with the flexibility and fast pace of a small business.
—have some experience in engaging with a customer base—if not retail than in customer support or service/hospitality.
—be comfortable with the expectation of working weekend shifts.
About Us
Freaks’ is an antique shop that sells furniture, art, homewares, and other objects for your home. We curate vintage pieces alongside contemporary literature, restore and reupholster antique pieces, and make it a point for our queerness to run through it all. Everything in our shop that is new is made by a woman or queer person, just like the founder and owner. Our shop seeks to create an environment—warm, dim, scented—where folks can feel at home, encouraged to follow their curiosity, and introspect about why they’re drawn to the pieces they are. We exist to help elevate our community’s self expression in their interiors.
