Farmers Market Associate

At Jezabel’s, everything begins with hospitality, intention, and the flavors of Northwest Argentina. Our farmers markets are an essential part of how we connect with the community — a place where people discover our empanadas, pastries, and stories, and where we share the same warmth and craft they’ll experience when visiting the bakery.

We’re looking for a friendly, organized, and reliable person to join our farmers market team. This role begins as a Market Associate, with a clear path to grow into a Market Lead or Farmers Market Manager for the right candidate.

Season: Year round, with peaks between April and October.
Schedule: Weekends required
Compensation: Hourly + tips (based on experience)

Why Farmers Markets Matter to Jezabel’s

• They extend our hospitality into the neighborhoods we serve.
• They introduce customers to our culture, values, and made-from-scratch foods.
• They create long-term relationships with regulars who later visit the café, preorder online, and follow us on social media.
• They are often the first point of contact for new guests—so the market team is an ambassador for everything we do.
• This makes your role both operational and deeply connected to our mission.

What You’ll Do (Associate Level)

• Set up and break down the Jezabel’s market stand (tent, tables, signage, pastry displays).
• Welcome customers warmly, make eye contact, and share the story behind Jezabel’s. 
• Offer product knowledge and answer ingredient or preparation questions.
• Operate a simple POS system accurately.
• Maintain a clean, organized, visually beautiful stand.
• Restock items and communicate sell-through updates during the market.
• Transport products and equipment safely to and from market locations.

What Growth Looks Like (Lead / Manager Track)

As you gain experience, you may begin to:

• Oversee full setup, flow, and breakdown without supervision.
• Manage weekly inventory, product counts, and reporting.
• Coordinate directly with the kitchen about pastry and empanada needs.
• Track sales and customer feedback.
• Train new market staff and model best practices.
• Maintain brand consistency through uniform, stand layout, and engagement style.
  This path is ideal for someone who wants to grow into a seasonal, flexible leadership role—or a longer-term position within Jezabel’s.

What We’re Looking For

• Outgoing, warm, and kind energy — hospitality comes first.
• Ability to share Jezabel’s story in a natural and engaging way.
• Comfort working outdoors in all weather (rain, heat, wind, cold).
• Strong punctuality and reliability (markets run on exact timelines).
• Ability to lift 40–50 lbs (tents, coolers, pastry boxes).
• Must have a valid driver’s license and clean driving record.
• Spanish-speakers encouraged to apply.
• Customer service or hospitality experience is helpful but not required.

Uniform & Presence (Aligned with the Operations Guide)

• Clean, on-brand attire (white, muted tones; branded sweatshirt; navy chore coat in colder months).
• Neat appearance, hair pulled back, minimal accessories. 
• Closed-toe, non-slip shoes.
• Present yourself as friendly, professional, and approachable — you are the face of Jezabel’s at the market.

What Makes This Role Special

You won’t just be “selling.” You will be:

• Sharing the story behind our pastries and empanadas.
• Engaging with customers who deeply value small businesses.
• Creating a warm, memorable stop in someone’s weekend market ritual.
• Helping strengthen Jezabel’s presence across Philadelphia.
• Growing into a leadership role if that’s your goal.
