We're Lick Honest Ice Creams and have been producing the finest, locally sourced, seasonally inspired ice creams in Austin since 2011! We currently have three San Antonio Scoop Shops - at the Historic Pearl Brewery, at Hemisfair, and our newest location at The Rim. We are currently hiring a Shift Leader for our Pearl location. We work hard and get rave reviews from media around the country. We are rapidly expanding and looking for outgoing, happy, responsible, and positive individuals who love ice cream as much as we do to join our ice cream shop family!

Position Summary

The role of the Shift Leader is to act as a monitor and enforcer of the day to day operations and procedures, staff supervision and customer experience. The person in this role is essentially an extension of the owners, supporting their goals of assuring happy and satisfied customers, knowledgeable and dependable employees and an exciting, unique and fulfilling customer experience. If you're up for perfecting your ice cream scooping skills, if you're self-motivated and responsible, if you enjoy people, if you love being part of a close-knit team, and if you really like eating ice cream (which you will be encouraged to do), then we hope you apply!
