Come Work With Us!

In the last few years, we have seen a lot change around here. As we continue to grow we are always looking for individuals to join our team. We are a fun, flexible, easy-going and dynamic workplace, and we are always looking for self-motivated, reliable individuals. In many ways, we are still a young business so a "go with the flow" attitude is ideal, as things and policies are constantly changing (and improving!)

  • Fantastic customers and a diverse range of products.
  • A fun, safe and inclusive work environment that promotes work-life balance.

Something To Note: We are still a very small business. Working in a small business means that no two days are ever the same and we have a very "all hands on deck" mentality. We all perform tasks that are outside the scope of our job descriptions everyday. Sometimes you are going to have to clean a bathroom, fix a printer issue or rearrange the store shelves. Maybe even all on the same day. Nothing is off the table, and you need to know that going in!

Application Details: To apply for the position of Retail & Fulfillment Specialist, please email your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your relevant experience, passion for supporting local artisans, and availability to us at hello@nbbox.ca. The application deadline is July 31. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further steps in the hiring process.

We appreciate your interest in joining our small business and look forward to reviewing your application!
