RETAIL CLERK

Ken Grossman started Sierra Nevada in 1980 with a hand-built brewhouse and the odds stacked against him. That passion forever changed the course of American craft brewing and launched a beer revolution that's in full force today. Turns out, good beer can do a lot of good, and Sierra Nevada became a cornerstone for both its innovation and its care for the Earth and its people.

We’re committed to advancing a culture of inclusion and believe diversity in all its forms makes us stronger. We keep pushing boundaries, whether that’s in the brewhouse, with sustainability, or in the great outdoors.

The Retail Clerk creates an engaging and welcoming experience for guests visiting the Sierra Nevada Gift Shop and Brewery. Serving as a brand ambassador, this role builds genuine connections with guests through exceptional customer service, product knowledge, and hospitality. The Retail Clerk greets and assists guests, initiates meaningful conversations, answers questions about Sierra Nevada and craft beer, processes retail transactions accurately, and supports a clean, organized, and inviting retail environment that reflects Sierra Nevada's relationship-driven culture.

We’re committed to our employees and work hard to prove it. For starters, we’re offering $16.90 to $20.53 hourly compensation for this role.
