¿Quienes somos?
Shaker & Spoon es un negocio de alimentos pequeño pero de rápido crecimiento con una cocina en Red Hook, Brooklyn. Producimos kits de cócteles seleccionados mensualmente (piense en Blue Apron para cócteles artesanales) y los enviamos a todo el país junto con un puñado de productos complementarios. Nuestro pequeño y dedicado equipo está enfocado en seguir haciendo crecer la empresa y crear productos únicos y divertidos. Nos enorgullecemos de dirigir una empresa ética que obtiene productos de alta calidad de otras pequeñas y medianas empresas, dona dinero y productos a obras de caridad y trata a las personas con dignidad y respeto.
¿Quién eres tú?
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 associates and temp production staff in our facility in Red Hook and virtually communicating with our remote team as well. 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’d really like to find someone who is great with details and who 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 by any stretch, 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.

Perform in all aspects of production from assembly lines to cooking and bottling syrups, and everything in between, sometimes individually and sometimes as part of a larger team.
Eventually lead smaller teams of temp production staff within our larger production.
Assist in day-to-day shipping operations and kitchen upkeep.
Requirements include:
Exceptional organizational skills
Great communication skills—written and oral

Good sense of what you don’t know or understand and ability to ask pertinent questions
Sense of urgency while maintaining calmness and collectedness
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)
Debe poder estar de pie durante largos períodos de tiempo y usar sus manos y muñecas para tareas repetitivas durante todo el día (no es la misma tarea todo el tiempo, pero todas usan las manos de alguna manera)
Experiencia previa en la industria alimentaria un
