Poured Candle Bar™ is New York’s first candle bar. We're headquartered in Hudson, NY and will be opening our second location in Press Bay Court this summer!

We are looking for Retail Associates / Candle Makers to join our team that shares our passion for delivering a polished white-glove customer experience. Never made candles before? No worries! We provide on the job training!

These new team members will be responsible for guiding customers throughout the fragrance making experience as they create their own custom fragrance (candles, reed diffusers, perfumes). As we’re a hybrid retail/wine bar, we’re looking for a Jack/Jill of All Trades to join us!

This position will encompass all aspects of our business from candle making, to bartending/serving, and helping with our retail. Additional duties will include helping with bussing/turning over stations, restocking supplies in our store, and overall support throughout our shop when needed. We’re a family-run, LGBTQIA owned small business, and we’re extremely passionate about the level of service we’re bringing to the Finger Lakes. It’s All Hands On Deck when we’re in service, and no job is too big or too small to get things done.

If you have 2 years of retail/serving experience in a boutique or higher end establishment with deep understanding of what a discerning customer might need, we can train you to become an excellent Chandler (candle maker).
