Job description

Who are we?

Shaker & Spoon is a small but fast-growing food business with an industrial kitchen/warehouse in Red Hook, Brooklyn. We produce monthly curated cocktail kits (think Blue Apron for craft cocktails) and ship them all over the country along with a variety of supporting products. Our small and dedicated team is focused on sustainably growing the company and creating unique, fun products that resonate with our customer community. We pride ourselves on running an ethical company that sources high-quality products from other small and medium-sized businesses, donates both money and products to charity, and treats people with dignity and respect.

Who are you?

A dedicated, detail-oriented, and self-motivated problem solver who’s interested in building something alongside us. Good communication and great organizational skills are a must. Ideally you’re a grounded team player, able to roll with the punches when things don't go as planned. You’re attuned and always listening/observing, able to identify the core of an issue quickly and to offer solutions. Versatility and flexibility will definitely help—you're able to wear many hats and to juggle various tasks with ease.

What will you be doing?

You’ll be part of a lean, passionate team that ensures that our operations are smooth and functional.
Your main job will be supporting all aspects of production—from our large monthly box assembly lines, to putting together various box components and kits, to cooking up our small batch syrups. You’ll also help carry out our day-to-day shipping of kits and individual products and help maintain our production facility.

This is a great, full-time job for someone looking to build their career in a meaningful small-business setting, who’s interested in growing along with a company and creating a foothold within it. Ample opportunity exists to prove yourself and move on up the ladder. An interest in cocktails is not required, though probably wouldn’t hurt.

You’ll work directly alongside our team of permanent associates and temp production staff in our facility in Red Hook and virtually communicate with our remote team. There are lots of slacks back and forth and video calls on occasion : )

We have systems in place for how things work, but there’s always room for improvement, and we hope to be able to benefit from your fresh eyes and ideas (we’re always open!) while also showing you what has worked so far and what hasn’t, why, and what we need going forward. Our company is deceptively complex because there are so many variables and moving parts, and we’re really looking for someone who is great with details and can manage lots of disparate information simultaneously.

Lastly, please note that this job is quite physically demanding. There will be 50+ lb boxes to lift and large pallets to maneuver. This isn’t the majority of the job, but it is an important requirement. The job also requires lots of standing, constant use of your hands and wrists for various repetitive tasks, and a good deal of lifting/carrying throughout the day.

• Assist with training of other team members, as needed / requested

(inspecting them, checking them in, and putting them away), as needed / requested

• Very strong attention to detail while being able to see the big picture
• Good sense of what you don't know or understand and ability to ask pertinent questions

• Ability to quickly and creatively problem solve, prioritize, and adapt
• Flexible, agile, able to deal with ambiguity
• Ready to conquer any task—must be a team player
• Must be able to lift 50+ lbs over the course of the day and to maneuver a pallet jack (or learn how)
