Farmer's Market Sales Associate | MatchBox Candle Co.

MatchBox Candle Co. is looking for a reliable, outgoing, and self-motivated Farmers Market & Events Representative to run our booths at farmers markets and other popular events across Colorado’s front range and mountain towns.

This is not your typical retail job. You’ll be the face of MatchBox in some of the busiest and most high-end markets in the state—interacting with customers, driving sales, and creating a great experience that reflects our brand.

If you enjoy being outside, working independently, and taking ownership of your work, this is a great fit.

What You’ll Do

• Set up and break down our booth at markets and events
• Sell candles and other related products in a confident, engaging way
• Be outgoing and informational about our products
• Create a welcoming, high-energy customer experience
• Handle transactions (POS cash) accurately
• Keep the booth clean, stocked, and visually on-brand
• Manage inventory for each event
• Represent MatchBox professionally at all times

What We’re Looking For

• Strong customer service or sales experience preferred
• Outgoing, personable, and comfortable talking to strangers
• Self-motivated and able to work independently without supervision
• Reliable transportation (this role requires travel between markets and events)
• Must be able to stand for the full length of your shift.
• Physically able to lift tents, tables, and product (40–50 lbs)
• Punctual and dependable—markets run rain or shine, and we show up ready
• Strong English communication skills.

Bonus Points If You

• Have worked farmers markets or events before
• Enjoy sales and naturally connect with people
• Take pride in setting up an aesthetically clean, well-merchandised booth

What We Offer

• Flexible scheduling (primarily weekends some weekdays)
• Competitive hourly pay tiered commission based on daily sales performance
• Travel opportunities to Colorado’s top mountain towns and busiest markets
• A fun, fast-paced environment with a strong team behind you
• Employee discounts on MatchBox products

Commission Structure
In addition to hourly pay, this role includes a performance-based commission designed to reward strong sales:

• Hit daily sales target → earn bonus commission
• Exceed target → unlock higher commission tier
• Top performers consistently earn additional income each market

(Exact structure will be outlined during onboarding.)

This role is ideal for someone who wants a mix of independence, sales, and being part of a growing brand—without being stuck inside all day.

Pay: $20.00 - $30.00 per hour

Benefits:

• Employee discount
• Flexible schedule

Work Location: In person

Salary : $20 - $30
