Community Manager Jobs

About the The New Bar:

Hi! We’re The New Bar. We’re a curated nonalcoholic bottle shop and discovery platform built around one simple concept: It’s fun to be good to yourself.

Since launching in July 2022, we’ve built a mission-driven brand with growing momentum and a thriving community. We’re looking for a creative, charismatic, and organized community manager to help us magnify our impact and create newer and stronger connections with our audiences.

What we do:

We help people access, discover, and understand alcohol alternatives and how they can fit into their lifestyles. We’re not here to judge. We’re here to provide products, tools, and information to help people be more mindful, intentional, and healthy about the way they drink - whatever that means to them.

Beyond our flagship store in Venice, CA and our online platform, we love a good party. Building a meaningful, highly engaged community is our top priority.

We’re a small, but mighty team. We’re deeply passionate about our work and think creatively to break societal norms. We believe in meeting people where they are and making behavioral changes accessible to everyone.

In our first year, we threw over 50 community events and became Coachella’s first ever Official Nonalcoholic Partner. We’re always looking for ways to reach new people and bring nonalcoholic options to anywhere fun is being had - that’s where you come in!
