Job Details

La Jambe is seeking a Cheesemonger at our bar/deli in Union Market. We are looking for an excited, experienced, and passionate person to help us make La Jambe a reference in retail cheese.

We are a small group of passionate professionals who own & operate a French wine bar, La Jambe, Union Market, NE DC. In addition to the wine, we also have a full bar (French or local spirits only), and serve a menu consisting of traditional French dishes, cheese, charcuterie and seasonal French specialties. 

We are looking for a candidate who has the following:
- One-plus year of experience in a cheese/deli/speciality store
- Strong knowledge in cheeses
- Strong knowledge in Charcuterie
- Know how to operate an electric slicer
- Availability week days, weekends and holidays
- Knowledge in wine and cheese pairings a plus
- Ability to make recommendations to customers

This is a small restaurant with a small kitchen, and a very close-knit ownership/management team. If you are looking for a corporate environment this is not the position for you. But if you would like to be the driving force behind La Jambe’s continued expansion, and have your ideas heard, then we would like to hear from you.
