Descrizione del lavoro

Help make the House Line people love.

Please read this whole post before you apply. We wrote it to be honest about the job, the schedule and the pay.

Lena Rose is a W-2, clean-beauty spa and shop with two homes, Lincoln Square in Chicago and downtown Naperville. Our House Line of bath, body and skincare is made by hand in small batches from Illinois-grown ingredients, and right now our founder makes almost all of it herself. We're looking for a careful, creative maker to run our Naperville House Line Lab with her and help the House Line shine even brighter.

What this job is

Hands-on production, not a desk job. There's no admin in this role. You'll follow our written production schedule and recipes, keep the lab stocked, and make beautiful product.

What you'll do

• Make House Line products in small batches, following our recipes and production schedule exactly.
• Run the House Line Lab: set-up, production, clean-down and sanitation after every batch.
• Keep us stocked: track glass, packaging and ingredients, place orders, and run errands to pick up ingredients so we never run out before the holidays.
• Write and design product labels in Canva, and make sure every label is accurate and on-brand.
• Film short videos of the making process for our social media.
• Bring ideas that help the House Line become even more beautiful and more loved.

The schedule

Part-time, 16-20 hours a week to start, with more hours through the holiday season. You build your own shifts within Naperville shop hours (while the shop is open), as long as the production schedule is followed and we stay in stock. Every minute you work is clocked and paid.

Non-negotiables

• Major attention to detail: you measure exactly, label accurately and make a recipe the same way every time.
• Sanitation habits you never skip.
• A valid driver's license and a reliable car for ingredient runs.
• Able to stand for long shifts and lift up to 75 lbs (shea butter is heavy!), with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Comfortable with Canva, or eager to learn it quickly.
• Self-directed and dependable when working on your own.
• Willing to sign a confidentiality agreement that protects our recipes.

Nice to have

• Experience making soap, candles, skincare, baked goods or any small-batch craft.
• An eye for design and a love of clean, natural ingredients.
• Comfort on camera, or a knack for filming hands-on "how it's made" videos.

This role is not a fit if

• You want a front-desk, retail or office job.
• You like to improvise on recipes. Here, consistency is the craft.
• You need someone beside you to stay on task.

How we hire (so you know what to expect)

1) Your resume and a written answer to the question below.

2) A 15-minute phone screen.

3) An in-person interview in the House Line Lab.

4) A paid working interview: a short supervised batch of a simple product and a label mock-up in Canva.

5) Reference checks.

What we offer

• $22/hour, W-2, with hours that grow through the holiday season.
• A flexible schedule during shop hours, built around production.
• Paid leave and paid sick leave, earned from day one.
• Mileage reimbursed for ingredient runs.
• 40% off retail and services from day one.
• Paid training on every recipe and process before you make it on your own.

Physical requirements

This is a hands-on production role. You should be able to stand for long periods; bend, reach and lift up to 75 lbs; and safely use kitchen tools and equipment, with or without reasonable accommodation.

Beautifully,

Jenny & the team at Lena Rose Beauty
