About Us
TALEA is NYC’s female-founded craft brewery changing the perception of craft beer. We operate five taprooms across Manhattan and Brooklyn that bring our craft beer, wine, cocktails, and food to guests through a hospitality-focused experience. We are known for our welcoming environment, female-forward brand, and beautifully designed spaces. TALEA has collaborated with world-renowned brands like Levain, Fishwife, Olipop, and Shake Shack. Our beers are available at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Costco and hundreds of bars, restaurants, and retailers across NYC and the surrounding areas. The Role
TALEA is looking for an eager and hard-working hospitality & beer lover to manage our front-of-house (FOH) taproom and staff. The Floor Manager will be responsible for opening/closing the taproom 4/5 days per week. You’ll be working independently at times, so you must be comfortable wearing many hats. Responsibilities include receiving deliveries, prepping coffee, 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 are 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 the Private Event Managers to ensure overall service, and events 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!
