Job Description

Voted Best Place to Work - 2025 - by The Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites Awards!

ABOUT US: Milk Jawn is a small batch, premium ice cream jawn based in Philly. Using fresh, local PA dairy, we create Philly-style (no eggs!) ice cream - the most delicious way to deliver our amazing flavors. There’s a reason Milk Jawn sells out everywhere. 

We are a hard-working, fun bunch and we love what we do! This is a great opportunity to join a fast-growing company at an early stage, make a real impact, and help shape our future and direction. We believe in a healthy, diverse, supportive work culture that encourages career growth. Development and advancement opportunities will be provided for employees who show dedication, genuine interest, and passion.

Our flavors are built from scratch and almost every ingredient that goes into our ice cream is handmade in our production kitchen. The employee in this position plays a key role in crafting all of the delicious items that go into our finished ice cream. The ideal candidate will be able to jump right into production with us and be adept at making caramels, toffees, and other similar ingredients.

  • Willingness to jump in and assist with other general tasks of all kinds as they arise

The above points should not be considered an all-inclusive description of the job or job duties. Team members in all positions may be asked to perform other duties when needed, during times of co-workers absence, or to balance workload, production process and/or production volume changes.
