Retail Sales Associate
PART-TIME
ABOUT THE ACADEMY
Working at the Adventurers’ Academy, you’ll be part retail associate and part community leader, all while sharing the joy of your favorite hobby, tabletop gaming! Between our retail store and event space, the Academy is often bustling with activity. For our employees, that means balancing the retail basics—stocking, cleaning, and merchandising—with our mission of building connections with everyone who walks through our doors. If that sounds like your kind of quest, we’d love to hear from you!
ABOUT THE JOB
Our retail sales associates (“professors”) will be trained in the following areas:
- Customer Service: You’ll offer a warm welcome to every customer. You’ll assist with product recommendations and advice, then finalize purchases at the register. You’ll promote and sell tickets to our in-store events. Above all, you’ll actively engage and connect with our customers about their favorite tabletop games!
- Cleaning: Taking out the trash, cleaning the bathroom, sweeping the floors, etc.—it’s not glamorous, but keeping the Academy clean and tidy is an important part of making sure that our customers feel comfortable and welcome.
- Stocking & Merchandising: You’ll unload and process incoming inventory, stock the shelves, and help us create engaging and effective retail displays.
ABOUT THE REQUIREMENTS
Qualified candidates should be 18+ and meet the following requirements:
- Know the basics. You should have at least one year of experience in retail or customer service.
- Be a subject matter expert. You should be knowledgeable about at least one of the following games: Magic, Warhammer 40K, D&D, and/or board games (with a willingness to learn more about the others).
- Be warm, friendly, and courteous.
- Be conscientious and detail-oriented.
- Be able to perform the job duties. You should be able to stand, walk, operate a computer, climb, bend, stoop, crouch, and lift heavy objects while completing your daily job duties, with or without accommodation.

Our part-time professors receive:
- $16/hour (with regular reviews)
- Employee discount (40% on snacks/drinks and 20% on everything else)
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY
