Do you love skincare, natural ingredients, and helping people heal?
We are looking for a dedicated, driven, and passionate natural skincare enthusiast to join our small but dedicated team.
This is not your average retail sales position.
We are an animal-based skincare company, primarily focused on tallow-based products, with an extensive line of natural, handmade, and wholesome skincare. We are looking for a skincare consultant who is excited to learn the ins and outs of natural skincare, become deeply knowledgeable about our products, and help customers find solutions for their individual skin concerns—while playing an important role in building a growing start-up business.
Our line extends far beyond basic skincare. You’ll learn about tallow-based products for the face, body, hair, scalp, lips, hands, feet, and overall skin wellness, including products designed to support acne-prone, dry, sensitive, aging, and troubled skin.
What Makes This Job Exciting?
You will have the opportunity to become a skincare expert and educator.
You’ll learn:
- The philosophy behind natural, handmade, and animal-based skincare
- Why animal-based skincare can be so effective
- Our ingredients and their properties, how they differ from one another, and how they compare with ingredients and formulations found in animal-based, plant-based, and conventional skincare
- Which products work beautifully together and how to build thoughtful, personalized skincare routines
- How to help customers understand and address their individual skin concerns
You’ll spend your time talking with customers, listening to their needs, educating them, and helping them find products that genuinely make sense for them.
Primarily you will be working at our Retail Location at Gasoline Alley Farmers Market.
As we expand we will be looking for you to participate in markets and retail partner demonstrations throughout Alberta, creating opportunities for travel and new experiences.
In addition, we host sales events at our facility, parties, workshops, demonstrations, and other special events.
There is a tremendous opportunity to wear many hats in our start-up environment. Your day-to-day work will be varied, giving you the opportunity to develop sales, customer service, product education, event, merchandising, marketing, and business skills while helping us grow the company.
Who Are We Looking For?
Experienced. Curious. Intelligent. Personable. Passionate.
Someone who loves learning and isn't intimidated by a truly holistic and animal-based product line.
Someone who can absorb a large amount of information and turn that knowledge into a warm, approachable, and easy-to-understand experience for customers.
Someone who wants to become an expert—not someone who simply wants a job selling products.
Someone who works hard, takes initiative, and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty.
Experience in skincare, esthetics, beauty, wellness, natural products, or consultative retail sales is highly valued.
Most importantly, you must have the curiosity, drive, and willingness to learn.
