Why This Job Exists

Faneuil Hall has drawn people together since 1742. Life is Good is setting up there, and this role exists to make sure every person who walks by our cart has a chance to walk away with something that makes their day — a custom hat, a t-shirt, or just a conversation that sticks. You are the live, in-person expression of a brand built on the belief that optimism is a force for good. Your job is to make that impossible to ignore.
