Employment Opportunities

Job Title: Retail Staff
Location: Gather Goods Co., Cary, NC
Hours: 12-20 hours per week
Pay: $13-15/hour based on experience

We're hiring  help at the shop: someone who is available to work during the week as well as every weekend during our holiday season from October-January. If you are only available weekends that is fine, just specify that when you apply. Each applicant does need to be available weekends and not just weekdays.

This is a temporary retail position but could lead to a permanent position later if the right fit. All shop employees make sales, greet customers, move and style merchandise, label items, organize, break down and move (sometimes heavy) boxes and ship out online orders, each day.

Candidate must be reliable, kind, honest, flexible and comfortable working on their own on tasks that vary each workday and of course good working with people. Ideal candidates excel at organization and project management, as well as visual merchandising and thrives wearing many hats. 

Priority goes to people who have been inside the shop and understand our culture and are interested in growing long term with us.

Employees get a 20% discount and can attend any of our classes for free.

Job Title: Operations Business Manager /Administrative & Project Manager
Location: Gather Goods Co., Cary, NC
Hours: 10-15 hours per week
Pay: $26/hour 

I’m looking for someone who can help take the day-to-day operational management of Gather off my plate—turning ideas and priorities into organized projects, delegating tasks to employees, following up, and closing open loops without needing to heavily involve me along the way.

There are a lot of moving parts at Gather because we’re really five businesses: the gift shop, online store, coworking community, classes/events, and my own line of products that I design and wholesale. Right now, much of the behind-the-scenes management is handled by me (employee questions, shop needs, vendors, inventory, marketing, product launches, classes, donation requests, and all the unexpected things that pop up all the time too while running a business.

Responsibilities:

  • Turning ideas and priorities into actionable projects

  • Delegating tasks to employees and following through with them to completion

  • Maintaining our master project/task system and calendar

  • Creating SOPs, checklists, and recurring systems

  • Helping employees take greater ownership of their responsibilities

  • Overseeing recurring shop, inventory, merchandising, and coworking needs

  • Coordinating classes, events, vendors, manufacturing, and product launches

  • Helping coordinate Shopify/product work, photography, PR, gift guides, and other cross-functional projects

  • Eventually taking on greater oversight of areas like customer service, orders, onboarding, training, and employee coordination

The role would start very part-time at 10–15 hours per month at $26/hour, with a 90-day trial period. It would be hybrid, with some time at Gather and some work that can be done remotely. I expect the first few months to be about learning how we work together, with room for the role and hours to grow if we find a good rhythm.

Most importantly, I’m looking for someone who naturally takes ownership. The goal is for this role to reduce the amount of managing I personally have to do rather than adding another person or system for me to manage.
