Retail

6 hours ago77 views

We’re hiring confident, sales-driven associates to run outdoor booths and street fairs across NYC. This is not a passive retail job. You will be expected to actively engage customers, drive sales, and perform in a fast-paced, outdoor environment.
If you’re not comfortable starting conversations, this role is not for you.


About alchemy.
alchemy. is a New York–based lifestyle brand offering elevated, NYC-inspired apparel, jewelry, and fragrance. We operate in high-traffic locations including JFK Terminal 8 and the Westfield World Trade Center, and are expanding rapidly through pop-ups and street fairs.


What You’ll Do

  • Set up and break down a full outdoor booth (tents, racks, tables, inventory)
  • Actively stop and engage customers — every interaction matters
  • Sell with intention: recommend, bundle, and upsell products
  • Learn product details and communicate them confidently
  • Keep the booth clean, organized, and visually strong at all times
  • Handle transactions via POS (Square)
  • Stay sharp, energized, and focused throughout long shifts

This Role Is For You If

  • You are naturally outgoing and not afraid to approach strangers
  • You’ve worked in sales, hospitality, or high-volume retail
  • You like being on your feet and staying busy
  • You can handle pressure and still bring great energy
  • You understand that your effort directly impacts sales

This Role Is NOT For You If

  • You prefer waiting for customers to approach you
  • You are uncomfortable initiating conversation
  • You need constant direction or supervision
  • You’re not comfortable working outdoors in heat, wind, or cold

Performance Expectations

  • Greet every customer within seconds
  • Drive multiple-item purchases (not just single transactions)
  • Contribute to daily sales goals
  • Maintain a high-energy, inviting environment at all times

Schedule & Pay

  • Part-time / event-based (weekends required)
  • Typical shifts: 8–10 hours
  • $20/hour

Why This Role

  • High-impact, fast-paced environment (no boring shifts)
  • Direct exposure to building a growing NYC brand
  • Opportunity to grow into lead roles for pop-ups and events

To Apply
Send a quick note telling us:

  1. Your experience with sales or customer interaction
  2. Why you’d be strong in a fast-paced, outdoor environment
