Job Description

About Us 

TALEA is NYC's female-founded brewery with 5 taprooms across Manhattan and Brooklyn. Our goal is to expand the craft beer market beyond the beer bro - through fruit-forward beers, hospitality-focused taprooms, and creative marketing and collaborations.

We're always looking for talented managers to join our team. We offer both part-time and full-time management roles.

The Role 

TALEA is looking for an eager and hard-working hospitality & beer lover to manage our front-of-house (FOH) taproom and staff.

You’ll be working independently at times, so you must be comfortable wearing many hats. Responsibilities include receiving deliveries, prepping coffee/pastries, opening the bar, pouring and serving beer, preparing small plates, supporting the staff and providing a smiling, friendly face for our team members and guests. The ability to multitask and prioritize across responsibilities is essential in this position.

Depending on the day, you may be working independently to supervise all staff, or in a supporting role to the General Manager. You may also be working closely with our Private Events Director to ensure overall service, events and pop-ups run smoothly. 

As a member of the nimble TALEA team, you’ll be joining a growing company in its early stage - be prepared to get your hands dirty! We value autonomy, ambition, grit, and an insatiable desire to exceed expectations. If you’re looking for a fun, fast-paced, challenging opportunity, we’d love to hear from you. Not sure if you’re qualified? Throw your hat in the ring anyway, and send us a cover letter telling us why you’re a fit for the role!
