About the job

Elephants on Cedar Hills is our newest location, opening in Beaverton in late summer. It will be one of our largest stores, featuring grab-and-go selections plus a grill, freshly prepared foods, cheese and charcuterie, gelato, wine, beer, catering, espresso service, and a wide variety of specialty groceries. 

We are looking for upbeat foodie professionals to open our newest store in Beaverton! We are looking for people who are eager to learn and are interested in full-time hours, as we plan to be open 7 days a week! 

We are anticipating opening our doors in late summer– but hoping to have some training take place before opening the store.

Our Elephants on Cedar Hills is looking for an Expeditor for orders.

You’ll be answering phones, gathering food and materials for orders, creating beautiful catering trays, and ensuring on-time and complete fulfillment of orders for clients’ parties and events. 

You will be on your feet and moving most of the day and need strong computer skills (Microsoft Office and catering software experience is a plus) to enter and track orders. The ideal candidate for our team would be a great team player - with a positive upbeat personality! A food handlers’ card is required for this position.
