Job description

The Corkery Wine & Spirits is a family-owned wine and spirits shop in New York City’s Financial District, and we’re looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and dependable Wine & Spirits Sales Associate to join our team.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys wine and spirits, loves working with customers, and takes pride in providing great service. You should be comfortable helping customers choose everything from an everyday bottle of wine to a special gift, making thoughtful recommendations based on taste and budget, and creating the welcoming, personal experience our customers have come to expect.

Responsibilities include assisting customers with wine and spirits selections, operating the POS system, maintaining displays and keeping the store organized, assisting with inventory, preparing online and delivery orders, and helping with the day-to-day operation of the store.

Previous wine and spirits retail experience is strongly preferred. We’re looking for someone with solid wine and spirits knowledge, strong communication and customer service skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a small team. Applicants must be comfortable lifting and moving cases of wine and spirits and working a retail schedule that may include evenings and weekends.

This is a full-time position with an annual salary range of $50,000–$55,000, depending on experience. Employee discount and paid time off are included.

Our hiring process begins with a review of applications. Selected candidates will be invited to an initial interview via Google Meet, followed by an in-person interview at The Corkery for candidates moving forward in the process.

The Corkery respects applicant privacy. Information submitted as part of the application process will be used only for recruiting and hiring purposes and shared only with those involved in the hiring process.

If you’re knowledgeable about wine and spirits, enjoy working with people, and would like to be part of a small, established team, we’d love to hear from you.
