At Molly’s Cupcakes, we don’t just sell award-winning cupcakes — we create joyful and memorable customer experiences.
We’re hiring a friendly, outgoing, and self-motivated Cupcake Ambassador / Retail Associate to join our team. This role is ideal for someone who loves working with people, brings positive energy to every shift, and thrives in a fast-paced retail environment.
This position may work at both of our Cincinnati retail locations, including Factory52, our small but high-energy shop inside a busy food hall, and Liberty Center.
