Moodologist
Chicago,
United States
You don't just sell tea. You read the room.
A Moodologist is Moody Teas' frontline tea specialist — part guide, part storyteller, part barista. You meet customers where they are (stressed, tired, curious, celebratory) and help them find the exact blend they didn't know they needed.
This isn't a script-and-sell role. It's a conversation. You'll work farmers markets, pop-ups, and events across Chicago, bringing the Moody Teas experience to life one cup at a time.
What You'll Do
- Guide customers through our mood-driven tea lineup — explaining flavor profiles, ingredients, and the intention behind each blend
- Brew and serve samples with care and consistency
- Turn curious browsers into loyal steepers through real, unhurried conversation
- Represent Moody Teas with warmth, energy, and authenticity at every event
- Support booth setup, breakdown, and inventory at market events
- Communicate clearly with the team before, during, and after every shift
What You Bring
- A natural ability to connect with strangers and make them feel seen
- Genuine curiosity about tea, wellness, or food culture
- Comfort on your feet in fast-paced outdoor environments
- Proactive, honest communication — you speak up and follow through
- Experience in customer-facing roles (café, retail, hospitality) is a plus, not a requirement
