Whitestone, Queens
SelesTeres is a Queens-based handcrafted skincare and self-care brand, and we are looking for a reliable, personable, energetic, and sales-oriented Market Sales Representative to independently represent our brand at farmers markets, pop-ups, and community events throughout NYC. This is more than simply standing behind a table. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with people, learning about products, recommending the right options, and turning conversations into sales while creating a warm and memorable customer experience.

You must be comfortable driving to market locations throughout NYC and, when scheduled, picking up and returning inventory and market equipment from our Whitestone studio. Your vehicle must have enough space to safely transport products and necessary market setup materials. Who We’re Looking For You may be a great fit if you are: • Friendly, outgoing, and genuinely comfortable speaking with new people, • Confident in sales and comfortable approaching shoppers rather than waiting for them to approach you, • Reliable and extremely punctual, • Responsible and able to work independently without constant supervision, • Professional in appearance and communication, • Organized and attentive to details, • Comfortable learning about skincare products and explaining them to customers, • Able to follow established sales scripts, promotions, pricing, and market procedures, • Comfortable handling products, inventory, payments, setup, and breakdown, • Physically able to handle normal market setup and transport of tables, boxes, displays, and inventory, • Available for weekend and early-morning work Previous experience in sales, retail, beauty/skincare, farmers markets, pop-ups, events, or customer service is strongly preferred. Schedule This is a part-time, event-based position. Most markets take place on Saturdays and/or Sundays, and some require early-morning setup. Additional seasonal markets, special events, and pop-ups may also become available. Because market schedules can vary, some flexibility with weekend availability is important. What Matters Most to Us We are looking for someone we can eventually trust to be the face of SelesTeres at a market independently. The right person will not simply watch the booth. You will actively welcome customers, understand what they are looking for, confidently recommend products, explain promotions, encourage sales, keep the display beautiful, and make each shopper feel genuinely welcomed. If you are dependable, enjoy working with people, have a natural ability to sell, and would enjoy representing a growing handcrafted skincare brand, we would love to hear from you.
