PLEASE NOTE: ONLY LOCAL CANDIDATES WILL BE CONSIDERED

Maggie Louise Confections is a dynamic Austin-based chocolatier and confectionary creating stunning gourmet molded chocolates by hand.  We were just selected as #5 Fastest Growing company in Austin, TX and we are part of the national INC500.

In our first year we were one of Oprah's Favorite Things.  We have also been featured in Vogue, Food+Wine, People, InStyle, the Today Show, Domino, Garden & Gun, and many more. 

We were Austin's Women Owned Business of the Year in 2016.

Too good to be true? Perhaps. We are a dynamic team and have extremely high expectations.  Maggie is a Harvard-educated attorney-turned-chocolatier and her husband, business partner, and CTO of the company sold his last company for $150M.  We're looking for team members who get shit done and have a great time exceeding their own expectations. 

If you’re interested in a high-performance work environment creating a world-class artisanal product for national and internationally recognized clientele, read on!  We'd love for you to be a part of an amazing success story.

To see who doesn't cut it - please read our Glassdoor.com reviews.  It's a lot of negativity written by people who failed to be a true part of our team.  As a start-up we sometimes hired too fast in the past -- not making sure it's a good fit for both parties.  We're getting better.  If you'd like to meet a group of dynamic individuals who love what they do and why they do it, then we'd like to invite you in and meet the team.

Each member of our team is interested in the others success and owning their own. You must be a team player. You should be very responsible, a self-starter, detail oriented, and take pride in a job well done. You should be flexible, very reliable and looking for a long term commitment with tremendous growth opportunity. Growth is change so if you are looking for a very structured, always the same job, this is not it.
