About Cellar’s Market

Cellar’s Market is a specialty coffee shop, wine and beer retailer, and neighborhood gathering place in the heart of downtown Bargersville. Part of Taxman Hospitality Group, our Market combines thoughtfully crafted beverages, curated retail offerings, and genuine hospitality in a welcoming, energetic environment.

We're looking for an experienced, motivated Market Manager who takes pride in creating exceptional guest experiences, developing a strong team, and maintaining a beautifully organized and well-operated space.

This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who enjoys being behind the espresso machine just as much as leading a team and improving operations.

About the Role

The Market Manager is responsible for overseeing daily operations, leading and developing our barista team, maintaining exceptional beverage and service standards, and ensuring the Market consistently delivers an outstanding guest experience.

You'll work directly alongside your team while taking ownership of shift execution, employee training, inventory, merchandising, cleanliness, and beverage innovation.

We're looking for someone who is proactive, organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable taking initiative without waiting to be asked.
