Grocery Specialist (Team Member)

At Flow, we’re redefining hospitality by blending design, community, and sustainability into every experience we create. We believe in crafting spaces that invite authentic connections, whether someone stays with us for two nights, two weeks, or two years. Our work spans hospitality, retail, food & beverage, and even our own publication, Flow Trip. We're not just about places to stay — we're about creating a sense of belonging, fostering innovation, and empowering those who share our vision for a more connected world.

About the Role:

Flow Grocer is a new neighborhood store that stocks thoughtful grocery and pantry items, unsprayed produce and flowers, local breads, and non toxic home goods. Our focus is local where possible, environment forward brands, and ‘better for you’ items to serve our Flow neighbors and community. We support emerging businesses in the food and beverage space who deserve an opportunity to shine, without the larger costs traditionally being placed on them to be in grocery stores. We observe a purchasing philosophy that ensures we have no artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, hormones or hormone disrupters, or GMO ingredients.

We are looking for a customer focused Grocery Specialist with a passion for food and environmental initiatives.
