WHO WE ARE

We're Hannah Grimes Marketplace.  For 27 years we've been providing opportunity to hundreds of local businesses by selling their products in our retail store at 42 Main Street in downtown Keene, NH.  We are a part of the Hannah Grimes Center for Entrepreneurship, and our work is at the center of the Monadnock Region's local economy.  Right now we're growing the operation and exploring many new opportunities, and we’re looking for the right candidate eager to support the “buy local” movement through their work.

  • Someone who is comfortable around technology, especially Windows PCs with printers, and Android tablets with Bluetooth peripheral hardware.
  • Someone with a customer service mindset, a pleasant demeanor, and a capacity for maintaining both while handling a fast-paced work environment.
  • Someone is looking to grow their skill-set and work hard at a place that inspires them.
  • Someone who is available to work flexible hours. The starting availability we are looking for is: Monday 1:45-6:30, Wednesday 9:30-2:00, Saturday 9:30-2:15. The Monday shift will shift in December to as late as 8:30pm.
