The Little Wren Shop is looking for a dependable, hardworking, and motivated Part-Time Retail Associate to join our small team in Morrison, Colorado.

We are a curated home and gift boutique located in a historic building at the base of Red Rocks Amphitheatre. As a small, independently owned business, every member of our team plays an important role in how the shop operates and in the experience we provide our customers.

This is much more than standing behind a register and checking out customers. Our Retail Associates are actively involved in all aspects of the shop, including customer service, merchandising, stocking, receiving and unpacking shipments, maintaining displays, organizing inventory, and keeping the store beautiful and welcoming.

The role is also physically active. Team members spend significant time on their feet and regularly handle merchandise and shipments, including lifting and carrying boxes and products, restocking, rearranging displays, and bending, reaching, and crouching throughout the day.

We are especially looking for someone who takes ownership of their role and genuinely cares about doing excellent work. The right person notices what needs attention and takes initiative without always waiting to be asked. They look for ways to help, support their teammates, follow through on responsibilities, and are willing to go the extra mile when something needs to get done.

We are seeking someone who can commit to a consistent and dependable part-time schedule, while also understanding that some flexibility comes with working for a small independent business. We are not a corporate chain with a large staffing pool, and occasionally unexpected circumstances arise - such as large inventory shipments, seasonal merchandise deliveries, staffing changes, special events, or particularly busy periods.

We do not expect employees to be constantly on call or available every time an additional need arises. We do, however, need team members who have reasonable flexibility and, when able, are willing to step in and support the team when an important business need arises. Additional hours may periodically be available during busy seasons, large shipment periods, and other times when the shop needs additional help.

We are looking for someone who wants to become a reliable, engaged, and invested member of a small team and who takes genuine pride in contributing to the success of the shop.

• Provide warm, attentive, and exceptional customer service

• Welcome customers and assist with product selections and gift ideas

• Learn our merchandise and provide thoughtful product recommendations

• Operate the point-of-sale system accurately and responsibly

• Maintain attractive, thoughtfully arranged merchandise displays

• Restock, straighten, organize, and move merchandise throughout the shop

• Receive, unpack, label, organize, and merchandise incoming inventory and shipments

• Lift, carry, and move boxes, packages, products, and displays as needed

• Assist with seasonal merchandise changes, store resets, and new product displays

• Keep the sales floor, backroom, and customer areas clean, organized, and inviting

• Identify tasks that need attention and take initiative to complete them without always needing direction

• Stay productive and engaged throughout the shift rather than waiting to be assigned each next task

• Support teammates and willingly pitch in when additional help is needed

• Take ownership of helping the shop operate smoothly and creating an exceptional experience for every customer

We are looking for someone who is:

• Hardworking, motivated, and self-directed

• Dependable, punctual, and consistent

• Honest and trustworthy

• Warm, friendly, and comfortable interacting with customers

• Genuinely interested in doing excellent work and taking pride in their contribution

• Able to recognize what needs to be done and take initiative without constant supervision

• Someone who naturally looks for ways to contribute rather than doing only the minimum required

• Willing to go the extra mile and help carry additional load when the team genuinely needs support

• Team-oriented and willing to step in and help others when reasonably able

• Flexible and adaptable when the needs of a small business unexpectedly change

• Able to commit to a consistent part-time schedule while maintaining reasonable flexibility for occasional business needs

• Comfortable working independently as well as closely with a small team

• Interested in learning our merchandise and becoming knowledgeable enough to make helpful recommendations

• Comfortable with an active, hands-on position involving significant time standing and moving throughout the shop

• Able to regularly bend, reach, crouch, lift, carry, unpack, organize, and move merchandise, boxes, and inventory as required by the position

• Willing to complete a criminal background check

• Retail or customer service experience is helpful, but work ethic, reliability, initiative, attitude, and willingness to learn are equally important to us.

Our strongest team members are people who naturally think, “What else can I do?” “How can I help?” and “What needs to be taken care of?” They notice when merchandise needs attention, when a customer needs assistance, when a shipment needs unpacking, or when a teammate could use an extra hand - and they take action.

The Little Wren Shop is a curated home and gift boutique located in Morrison, Colorado, in a historic building dating back to the 1880s at the base of Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

We offer beautiful home décor, meaningful gifts, seasonal merchandise, and thoughtfully selected pieces in a warm and welcoming environment. The shop continues the legacy of a beloved family business that operated in the same location for approximately 30 years while bringing a fresh, carefully curated shopping experience to the Morrison community.

As a small, independently owned business, we value kindness, hospitality, integrity, reliability, initiative, and genuine care for our customers and one another. Every team member has the opportunity to make a visible contribution, and we value people who take ownership of their work and want to help create something special.
