Job description

Lead Brand Ambassador — In-Store Sampling (Part-Time, Weekends)

$30-$35/hr

• Weekends + light weekday admin

The Role

We're Everyday Dose — coffee that does more. Less crash, more calm. More focus, fewer jitters.

We're scaling our in-store sampling program across our retail partners, and we need Lead Brand Ambassadors to own a region. You'll run your own events, mentor a team of BAs, and be the eyes‑on‑the‑ground that makes sure every sample station feels unmistakably Everyday Dose — whether it's Sprouts, Whole Foods, or any other store on the EDD shelf.

This is a player‑coach role. You're still pouring. You're also the reason your market hits its numbers.

Heads up: Field role. Not remote. You'll be inside retail stores most weekends, often across multiple locations in your region.

What You’ll Do

• Run your own sampling events at flagship/high-priority retail locations
• Train and onboard new Brand Ambassadors in your region
• Audit BA events across all retail partners — drop in, observe, give real feedback
• Own quality control: branded setup, product knowledge, shopper experience
• Be the first call when a BA has a question, an issue, or a no-show
• Submit weekly market recaps with photos, learnings, and shopper insights
• Flag opportunities — store relationships, top-performing locations, BA promotions
• Coordinate logistics: product, apparel, materials in your region
• Represent EDD to store managers and demo coordinators across retailers

You’ll Thrive Here If You’re

• A natural leader — people listen to you because they want to, not because they have to
• Ridiculously organized (you actually use a calendar)
• Calm under pressure when a BA cancels Saturday morning
• Already deep on wellness, coffee, or nutrition — or fast at getting there
• Comfortable giving direct, kind feedback
• Reliable beyond reliable. Your team mirrors your standard
• Cool with standing 4-5 hours, lifting 20-30 lb boxes, and driving between stores
• Excited to build something — not just clock in
