We're looking for someone with a careful eye and steady hands to prepare our candy and confectionery products for retail — this is detail-oriented, presentation-focused packing. You'll be hand-arranging, finishing, and quality-checking products that go directly onto store shelves and into gift packaging, so precision and visual care matter more than raw speed.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Hand-arrange and package candy and confectionery items according to established presentation and quality standards, including weighing, measuring, and placing product into bags, boxes, or gift containers
• Apply labels accurately — product names, descriptions, ingredients, allergen info, and pricing — in compliance with regulatory and company standards
• Visually inspect each product/package for appearance and quality: proper sealing, cleanliness, correct placement, and overall shelf presentation; catch and correct defects before they leave the line
• Tie ribbons, bows, and apply other decorative/retail finishing touches
• Work at a careful, consistent pace in a clean, temperature-controlled production environment
• Other duties as assigned

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE

• Strong hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills
• A genuine eye for detail — you notice when something looks slightly off
• Patience with repetitive, precision-focused tasks
• Pride in producing a polished, ready-for-retail final product

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Extended periods of standing at a workstation
• Light lifting (typically under 20lbs)
• Comfortable working in a candy production environment

QUALIFICATIONS

• Entry level — no experience required
• Prior experience in retail merchandising, gift wrapping, floral arrangement, craft work, or similar detail-oriented hands-on work is a plus (though not required)
