San Antonio, TX

At Son of a Sailor, we’ve been handcrafting jewelry, leather goods, and barware since 2011. Our storefront is not just a shop—it’s a community space where creativity, craftsmanship, and connection come together. We’re looking for a new teammate who thrives on details, enjoys working with their hands, and lights up when interacting with customers.

What you’ll do here:

• Jewelry production & permanent jewelry services — precision work, assembly, and an eye for detail are key.
  
• Retail & customer experience — warmly engaging with visitors, educating them about our work, and making their time in the shop memorable.
  
• Content creation — assist with capturing and sharing photos and videos for social media; contribute ideas that show off the behind-the-scenes of our studio and storefront.
  
• Other duties as required — we’re a small team, and everyone jumps in where needed.
  

Schedule requirements:

• This role requires regular availability on one or both weekend days (Saturday and/or Sunday), as those are our busiest times with customers.
  
• While occasional flexibility in scheduling is possible and paid time off is part of our benefits, applicants should expect that weekend shifts are a consistent part of this position.
  

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Are detail-oriented with great dexterity and patience.
  
• Have previous experience in jewelry making, permanent jewelry, or another craft requiring precise handwork.
  
• Have worked in retail, hospitality, or another customer-facing role where warmth and communication matter.
  
• Are comfortable with Instagram and TikTok—whether posting, recording, or brainstorming ideas.
  
• Enjoy problem solving, reasoning things through, and taking initiative.
  
• Value a supportive, collaborative work environment.
  

What we offer:

• $14–$17 per hour, commensurate with experience
  
• Paid time off
  
• Employee discounts
  
• A culture rooted in respect, creativity, and balance (we hire like Trader Joe’s and Room & Board: people-first, culture-first)

1. Your resume
   
2. A short cover letter or note about why this role feels like the right fit for you
