Freelance Summer Sales Associate
Job Description
Joyride Coffee Distributors, New York and San Francisco’s premiere specialty coffee distributor and cold brew producer, is seeking a highly motivated, responsible candidate for a summer sales associate position in the company’s New York City office.

Joyride Coffee was founded in 2011 by three brothers with a love for coffee. While serving Stumptown on the streets of New York, the brothers noticed a gap in the market for quality office coffee and began delivering directly to the office. Over the past several years, Joyride has partnered with some of the nation’s best roasters–among them specialty pioneers like Stumptown and Blue Bottle, and industry up-and-comers like Sightglass and Four Barrel–and has developed a damn fine kegged cold brew. Today, Joyride delivers roasted-to-order beans, cold brew kegs, and premium teas, along with cafe-quality equipment, to offices and cafes throughout the Greater New York City and San Francisco areas. Joyride can be found in the offices of Twitter, GILT, Uber, Warby Parker, and Pandora, and has been featured on CNBC, Business Insider, Bloomberg News, the Today Show, Yahoo and more.
