About this role
Balsam Hill Studio at Whalers Village offers a part-time retail role with a genuine difference: you'd be selling locally inspired, handcrafted Hawaiian ornaments to visitors seeking meaningful souvenirs rather than typical resort merchandise. Working roughly 20 hours weekly at $19–$23 per hour, you'd spend your shifts in a beachfront setting helping tourists and locals find keepsakes that capture their Maui experience, while also handling standard retail tasks like merchandising, restocking, and store operations.
The role suits someone with retail or customer service experience who genuinely enjoys meeting people from around the world and thrives in a fast-paced, tourism-driven environment. You'll need reliability and flexibility for weekend and holiday shifts, along with basic comfort using iPad and POS systems. Balsam Brands emphasizes a team-first culture and employee discounts, positioning this as more than transactional retail—it's about being part of a brand focused on creating joy and meaningful moments.
If you're drawn to a people-focused retail environment with a unique product story, a beautiful location, and the chance to interact with travelers from across the globe, this part-time position could be a good fit.
