About Branch

Branch is shaking up the $46B office products industry to create the best work experience for the 21st century: easy, affordable and adaptable so you can sit down (or stand) and get to work.

Most people spend eight hours a day at their workspace. Our mission is creating accessible and inspiring products to help people and teams feel their best at work, wherever that happens.

We're based in NYC and Toronto, and backed by the investors behind Quip, Caraway, Eight Sleep and Peloton. Our culture combines strategic clarity with scrappy execution; we think and plan rigorously but ship fast and have fun doing it. We're looking for entrepreneurial teammates who do the same.

The Role

We’re looking for a Part-Time Key Holder to support the daily operations of our Fulton Market retail store, ensuring a seamless and engaging customer experience. As a Key Holder, you’ll play a vital role in maintaining store standards, assisting customers, and supporting the retail team in driving sales and operational excellence.

This is a part-time position (15 to 25 hours per week) that will report directly to the Store Manager. This is an hourly role, with a compensation range of $20-$24 USD per hour based on the candidate's experience, skills, competencies, and qualifications. As a part-time employee, you'll be eligible to participate in accrued PTO, a Branch product allowance, and an employee discount on Branch products.

• Flexibility in Responsibilities: Assist with other tasks as needed, including assisting with in-store events, special promotions, or other administrative tasks, ensuring the store runs efficiently and aligns with the company’s needs in a growing startup environment
