Job description

For more than 25 years, Spectacle has been at the intersection of clinical excellence and high fashion. As an award-winning industry leader, we’ve built our brand on the belief that everyone deserves eyewear as unique as they are. We celebrate creativity in all its forms, offering our clients access to the highest quality products and expert service that feels personal, honest, and exciting. Join us in our mission to bring exceptional style and clarity to our community, one frame at a time.

For the Eyewear Stylist, the focus should shift slightly away from the clinical/technical and move heavily toward curation, aesthetic storytelling, and the "art" of the sale. This role is about the transformation—helping a client find their visual identity.

Here is the refined and elevated version:

About the Role

At Spectacle, an Eyewear Stylist is a curator of confidence. Your purpose is to exceed client expectations by blending high-fashion expertise with "legendary" service. You aren't just selling frames; you are helping individuals discover their visual identity through our world-class collection of eyewear and sunwear.

With a deep understanding of Spectacle’s mission and award-winning history, you will ensure every visitor is met with genuine enthusiasm, honesty, and a level of expertise that makes them feel like a VIP.

Think of yourself as part trend-forecaster, part personal shopper, part problem-solver, and a 100% brand ambassador.

What You’ll Do

• Curate the Look: Provide a personalized, concierge-style shopping experience. You’ll guide clients through our "gallery" of frames, offering expert advice on face shapes, color theory, and current fashion trends.
• Build an Eyewear Wardrobe: Educate clients on the value of specialized eyewear (sun, computer, fashion-forward) to ensure their vision needs are met for every aspect of their life.
• Master the Product: Develop an encyclopedic knowledge of our independent brands, their craftsmanship, and the stories behind the designers.
• Maintain the Aesthetic: Take pride in the visual merchandising of the store, ensuring the gallery remains flawless, organized, and inviting at all times.
• Cultivate Community: Communicate Spectacle’s values and brand philosophy, turning one-time visitors into lifelong "Spectacle enthusiasts."
• Collaborate & Innovate: Brainstorm creative ways to optimize the client journey and share successful sales strategies with the team.

Your Personality

• Fashion-Forward: You have an innate sense of style and a genuine passion for the latest trends in eyewear and design.
• The "Ultimate" Host: You are energetic, empathetic, and driven by a desire to make people look and feel their best.
• Agile & Proactive: You thrive in a fast-paced environment, are quick on your feet, and eager to take initiative.
• Detail-Oriented: You have an "eagle eye" for accuracy—from processing orders correctly to spotting a fingerprint on a lens from across the room.
• Entrepreneurial Spirit: You treat the store like your own, with a "no task is too small" attitude and a drive to meet and exceed goals.
• Polished & Professional: You project a stylish, professional image that aligns with the Spectacle brand.
• Balanced: You are super serious about your craft, but you know how to have fun and keep the energy high for your team and clients.

Qualifications

• The "Style" Factor: A successful candidate is a natural team player with a sharp fashion sense and a background in retail, design, or luxury service.
• Sales Excellence: Proven experience in a sales-driven environment is required. You should be comfortable with "the ask" while maintaining a soft-touch, advisory approach.
• Communication Guru: Exceptional verbal skills—you can tell a story about a frame that makes a client fall in love with it.
• Flexibility: Availability to work a retail schedule, including weekends and some evenings for exclusive brand events or extended hours.

Why Join Us?

• Style Education: Specialized Sales and Optical training programs to sharpen your industry knowledge.
• Full Coverage: Participation in our Group Health Benefits plan, including Medical and Dental.
• The Look: Significant company discounts and eyewear benefits so you can build your own Spectacle collection.
• The Vibe: Regular team outings, legendary events, and reward programs that celebrate creativity and success.
• Pay it Forward: Gift cards for friends and family to share the Spectacle experience.
