At DCANTER, we’re more than a wine shop—we’re a community. We specialize in artisanal, organic, and sustainable wines from small producers around the world, and we’re passionate about creating joyful moments of discovery for our customers. We combine technology and hospitality to make wine buying simple, fun, and highly personalized---whether through our boutique, our online shop, or our one-of-a-kind Concierge by DCANTER service.
At DCANTER, everything we do is guided by our values:
If these values resonate with you, you’ll feel right at home here.
The Gig
The delivery associate is a critical member of the DCanter team. You'll delight our customers by delivering delicious wines straight to their door -- efficiently, safely, and with a smile. For many of our customers who haven't stepped foot in the shop, you're the face representing DCanter. Contact-less deliveries take place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (2:00-5:00 PM), weeknight evenings (6:00-9:00 PM), and Saturday mornings (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM). The pay is $18/hour plus mileage reimbursement, and you may also receive tips that go directly to you via Venmo. Your schedule will be very consistent each week. We prefer applicants who have their own vehicles. Between delivery routes, you may assist with receiving inventory and restocking shelves with all the wine goodies. If you love interacting with people, enjoy driving and learning about the city, don't mind sitting in traffic every now and then, and want to learn more about wine, this job is for you!
