How to Apply

The role
We're looking for a full-time Retail Associate to join us at the Element Brooklyn Gallery of Scent in the South Street Seaport. The space is part refillery, part scent museum, part candle workshop – there's nothing else quite like it in the city.


This is a full-time role, Wednesday through Sunday, 11am–7pm. We're looking to fill it as soon as possible. Although the Gallery is a limited run (through the end of the year), we expect to open another retail location and this role will transition there – it can also transition for the right candidate to a role at our Bushwick warehouse.  


What you'll do

  • Welcome visitors and walk them through the scent gallery – 30 stations where guests explore perfumery ingredients
  • Help customers create their personalized "Scent Portrait" and encourage them to share it
  • Operate the refillery: guiding customers through our refillable soaps, helping them choose a vessel, and handling the refill process
  • Support candle-making workshops – setup, welcoming attendees, assisting the workshop lead
  • Run the POS and handle transactions
  • Keep the space clean, well-merchandised, and restocked throughout your shift
  • Help us document the space – we'll encourage you to grab photos and short videos that we can use on our channels

You might be a great fit if you...

  • Genuinely like people and can hold a conversation with anyone
  • Are interested in fragrance, design, sustainability, or retail – and can learn our product range quickly enough to speak to it with confidence
  • Are reliable and can commit to a Wednesday–Sunday schedule, 11am–7pm – note that this role covers both weekend days
  • Are available to start right away
  • Have some retail, hospitality, or customer-facing experience – not required, but helpful
  • Can get up to speed with new tools (like POS systems) quickly
  • Are based in NYC and can get to the Seaport easily

Compensation

$25 per hour, 40 hours a week, plus the opportunity for a performance bonus tied to how the Gallery does overall. All full-time employees are eligible for health, dental and vision insurance and we offer 401k matching.
