Retail Sales Associate

Muria Foods is a modern specialty food and lifestyle brand reimagining the pantry through bold flavor, thoughtful design, and globally inspired products. From pepper preserves and cheeses to cream cheeses, gifting, and entertaining essentials, Muria creates products designed to make everyday eating and gathering more interesting.

Founded by siblings and inspired by the art of modernizing time-honored traditions, Muria blends real ingredients, unexpected flavor combinations, and an elevated yet approachable point of view. As the brand expands across retail, markets, events, and specialty shops, Muria is building a modern gathering house centered around discovery, hospitality, and a bold explosion of flavor.

The Retail Sales Associate is a part-time, on-site role based in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale area. This is a highly customer-facing position for someone who is naturally outgoing, comfortable starting conversations, and excited to introduce people to new products.

The Retail Sales Associate will create an engaging, welcoming shopping experience by proactively greeting customers, offering samples, sharing product knowledge, and recommending products based on individual tastes and needs. This is an active sales role — not a cashier position — and success requires being comfortable approaching customers, encouraging trial, and turning product discovery into sales.

• Welcoming and engaging customers throughout the retail space
• Proactively offering and serving product samples
• Explaining Muria’s products, flavor profiles, ingredients, pairings, and usage ideas
• Making thoughtful recommendations and confidently closing sales
• Maintaining attractive, well-stocked product displays
• Monitoring inventory and supporting restocking and merchandising
• Keeping the retail space clean, organized, and visually polished
• Gathering customer feedback and sharing insights with the broader Muria team
• Representing the Muria brand with warmth, energy, and professionalism

• Naturally sociable and comfortable approaching and speaking with new people
• Comfortable offering and serving food samples throughout the shift
• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain products in an engaging, conversational way
• Ability to quickly develop strong product knowledge, including flavor profiles, ingredients, pairings, and usage ideas
• Retail, hospitality, food service, event, or customer-facing sales experience preferred
• Demonstrated ability to understand customer needs, make recommendations, and drive sales
• Comfortable working toward individual and store sales goals
• Strong customer service instincts and the ability to create a warm, welcoming experience
• Interest in food, specialty retail, hospitality, entertaining, or emerging consumer brands
• Experience with point-of-sale systems is a plus
• Reliable, punctual, organized, and comfortable working independently
• Ability to stand for extended periods and handle light physical tasks such as stocking, merchandising, and moving product
• Flexible availability, including weekends and occasional evenings
• Reliable transportation to retail locations and events throughout the Miami–Fort Lauderdale area

You are the kind of person who naturally starts conversations, enjoys introducing people to something new, and gets energy from a busy retail environment. You are equally comfortable offering someone a sample, explaining why two products pair well together, helping someone build a gift, and asking for the sale.

• More than anything, we are looking for someone who can make customers feel like they have discovered something special — and make them want to come back.
