Seasonal Sales Associate

Celery Retail | Hillsdale Mall | San Mateo, CA
Part-Time | Seasonal (October through December)

Spend your holiday season helping small businesses thrive.

This isn't your average retail job.

At Celery Retail, every shelf tells a different founder's story. Instead of working for one brand, you'll help customers discover products from over 80 incredible small businesses, from handmade jewelry and clean skincare to home goods, fashion, and thoughtful gifts they won't find at big box retailers.

If you love connecting with people, supporting entrepreneurs, and helping customers discover something special, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

• Welcome every customer with exceptional service.
• Help shoppers discover products from dozens of local and emerging brands.
• Learn the stories behind our founders so you can confidently recommend products.
• Process purchases using Shopify POS.
• Restock merchandise and maintain beautiful, organized displays.
• Assist with inventory, merchandising, and store organization.
• Help create a welcoming, energetic shopping experience throughout the holiday season.
• Support special events and occasionally assist with social media content.

You're a Great Fit If You...

• Love talking to people and have a naturally positive attitude.
• Enjoy shopping, fashion, beauty, home goods, or discovering new brands.
• Believe small businesses deserve to succeed.
• Are organized and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
• Take initiative and enjoy staying busy.
• Are dependable, punctual, and eager to learn.
• Are available to work evenings, weekends, and throughout the holiday season.

Retail experience is a plus, but personality, curiosity, and a willingness to learn matter even more.

What Makes This Different?

Instead of memorizing one product line, you'll become familiar with dozens of incredible small businesses.

One customer might leave with handmade jewelry from one founder, a candle from another, and the perfect gift from someone who launched their dream business just months ago.

Every shift is different, and every sale directly supports an entrepreneur growing their business.

• Employee discounts on participating brands
• A fun and collaborative work environment
• The opportunity to support local and emerging businesses
