Seasonal Part-Time Makery Associate
'Tis the season for Self-Care! Buff City Soap makes fresh, handmade soap and self-care essentials right here in our Makery, using clean, plant-based ingredients — no mystery chemicals. Between Black Friday and New Year's, our Makery gets busy (in the best way), and we need extra hands to help us keep the shelves stocked, the guests smiling, and the holiday magic flowing.
If you love people, don't mind smelling like a candy cane by the end of your shift, and want a job that's actually fun, we want to meet you.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
Taking Care of Guests
- Greet everyone who walks in like they're the reason you showed up today (because they are).
- Help guests find the right gift, the right scent, or exactly what they didn't know they needed.
- Keep the vibe upbeat, even when the line's out the door.
- Speak up with product recommendations — we want you confident, not pushy.
Making the Products
- Get hands-on making bath bombs, shower steamers, scrubs, butters, and other Makery favorites.
- Label, wrap, and stock finished products and gift sets.
- Follow our quality and sanitation standards — every batch should be one you'd be proud to hand a guest.
Keeping Things Running
- Juggle production, guest interaction, and daily tasks without dropping the ball (multitasking is basically the holiday job description).
- Help keep the Makery and retail floor clean and organized.
- Restock as needed and pitch in wherever the team needs you.
- Work well with your teammates — we lean on each other during the holiday rush.
What We're Looking For
- Retail or customer service experience is a plus, but a great attitude matters more.
- You're friendly, outgoing, and genuinely like talking to people.
- You can keep your energy up in a fast-paced environment.
- You communicate well and work well with a team.
- You can multitask without losing track of what's next.
- You're dependable — if you're scheduled, you're there.
- You're available days, evenings, weekends, and holidays (this is a seasonal role, so flexibility here really matters).
The Physical Side This job keeps you on your feet and hands-on:
- Standing and walking for most of your shift.
- Lifting up to 50 lbs, sometimes repeatedly (think boxes of supplies).
- Being around a lot of different scents and fragrances.
- Good hand and finger dexterity for production work.
- Bending, reaching, twisting, stooping, kneeling, crouching, climbing, and balancing as needed.
- Pitching in on cleaning — dusting, sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, general Makery upkeep.
Why You'll Want This Job
- Room to grow — plenty of our team leads started right where you'd be starting.
- Flexible scheduling.
- Employee discounts on our products.
- Fun contests and incentives (because a little friendly competition makes the season better).
The Details
- Job Type: Part-Time, Seasonal
- Pay: Starting at $13.00/hour
- Schedule: Days, evenings, weekends, and holidays
- Location: In person at our Makery
If you love making things, connecting with people, and being part of a team that actually has fun together, come work with us this holiday season.
Compensation: $13.00 per hour
THE BUFF CITY STORY
We're on a mission to create handmade products that are free of harsh ingredients and full of nourishing plant-based goodies to make your skin happy.
WHY WE MAKE SOAP
Can we get on our soapbox a minute? Most of the trusted brands you’re washing up with are made with detergents, chemicals and tallow, which is just another name for cow fat (umm… gross). Sulfates, artificial detergents and parabens can cause irritation, trigger allergies and have other unpleasant side effects.
That doesn’t exactly say “refreshing shower” to us. So we set out on a mission to find an alternative. After learning more about commercial soap ingredients, we found ourselves in a bit of a lather about the whole business.
In 2013, we began experimenting with soap recipes that are safe for your skin and contain ingredients you can actually pronounce. After making a few big messes, we created something wonderful and Buff City Soap was born.
OUR SOAP MAKERY
We handcraft each bar of Buff City soap in what we call our Soap Makeries. Each of our locations makes every product sold right there, where you can see exactly what goes into the products you put on your body. It’s a bit of a mad lab stocked with ingredients like rose petals, lavender buds, hemp seed oil, shea butter, charcoal, and tea tree oil. Even our body scrubs are squeaky clean with natural exfoliants like chopped loofah bits, crushed walnut shells, and poppy seeds. What you will never see are artificial detergents, surfactants, dyes, or other harsh chemicals.
We even have our fragrances manufactured for us to ensure they are free of phthalates, parabens, and formaldehyde containing/forming ingredients. You can customize your products with the scent (or non-scent) of your choice and the ingredients that you prefer.
The possibilities are endless!
