Why Work Here? Because Life's Too Short for a Job That Doesn't Spark Joy.

At Ben & Jerry's, we don't just scoop ice cream -- we create moments. Our motto says it all: "If it's not fun, why do it?"We lead with peace, love, and a whole lot of euphoria, and we're looking for people who bring that same energy every single day.

We show up for our communities -- donating, volunteering, and being the kind of neighbors people actually want around. If that sounds like your vibe, keep reading.

Riverwalk Scoop Shop Manager & Catering Assistant Operations Manager

This is a dual-role opportunity for someone who thrives on variety, ownership, and making things run beautifully. You'll lead the Riverwalk Scoop Shop day-to-day and play a key supporting role in growing our catering business. If you're the kind of person who can shift from managing a busy shop floor to helping execute a flawless off-site event -- this was written for you.

What We Offer

  • Pay Rate $20-$25 an hour (plus tips)
  • Competitive pay with bonus opportunities
  • Health benefits, PTO, and wellness support
  • A people-first, purpose-driven culture
  • Ice cream perks (obviously)
  • Growth opportunities for leaders who want to make an impact

As Shop Manager, You Will

  • Set the tone -- your energy, your smile, and your sense of urgency are contagious and your team will follow your lead
  • Create an environment where every customer leaves happier than when they walked in
  • Keep a sharp eye on labor, cost of goods, and daily operations -- the numbers matter as much as the vibe
  • Drive sales up and costs down without losing the fun
  • Uphold all food safety standards, POS accuracy, and cash handling procedures
  • Be available for late nights (past 11pm), weekends, and select holidays -- this is a dessert business, and the best hours aren't 9-to-5
  • Bring at least 2 years of retail food experience and a genuine understanding of small business operations
  • Stay tech-savvy -- social media presence, paperwork, and operational systems are part of your world
  • Lead with honesty and integrity, always

As Catering Assistant Operations Manager, You Will

  • Support the overall success of our catering operation based out of Riverwalk, with reach into New Jersey and potentially Florida and CT
  • Bring fresh, creative ideas to help grow the catering side of the business
  • Help implement and manage catering operations under the Chief Administrator & Catering Manager -- including planning, logistics, equipment, marketing, and customer satisfaction
  • Ensure all systems align with franchise standards (Square, Salesforce, etc.)
  • Support proper training of catering staff -- daily operations, customer relations, cleanliness, and staff orientation
  • Show up for events: prep before and after, ensure operational excellence on-site, and motivate the crew
  • Maintain presentation standards, portion control, and proper serving temperatures at every event
  • Help build a motivated team culture where growth and advancement are real possibilities
  • Be comfortable working outdoors and able to lift, carry, and move approximately 25 lbs

What You Bring

  • 2 years of management or general management experience
  • Strong leadership, communication, and people skills
  • Operational confidence and a team-focused mindset
  • A big heart, high standards, and a love for great ice cream
  • Understand that in this business, nights, weekends, and holidays are part of the deal -- and you're good with that
