Job description

A winter season in Saint-Barthélemy, as part of the very first team of a luxury boutique opening its doors: ZHIGGIE is recruiting three Sales Advisor Interns for its new boutique in Gustavia. Accommodation and flights provided.

About the Brand

Founded in Paris in 2021 by Claire Hirsch, ZHIGGIE offers a singular vision of femininity shaped by personal memory and poetic silhouettes. Inspired by the aura of an imaginary dancer, each collection is conceived as a focused, emotional wardrobe. All garments are entirely made in Paris, in our own atelier, reflecting a form of luxury that is both human and responsible.

After establishing its flagship boutique in Saint-Tropez, ZHIGGIE opens a new chapter in November 2026 with its second boutique in Saint-Barthélemy, the most confidential island of the Caribbean, where the world's most elegant clientele spends the winter season. Joining this opening means being part of the very first team of the boutique, and writing its first pages with us.

The Internship

For the 2026–2027 winter season, ZHIGGIE is recruiting three Sales Advisor Interns to join its new Saint-Barthélemy boutique. This is a paid, full-time, six-month internship, reporting directly to the Store Director, who will train you on the collections, client relations and boutique tools, and support you day to day.

• Period: early November 2026 to late April 2027
• An internship agreement (convention de stage) issued by your school is required (gap-year or final-year internship)

Compensation and Benefits

• Performance bonus: up to €300/month, based on targets
• Accommodation provided: shared flat on the island
• Round-trip flights provided
• A full winter season under the Caribbean sun, at the heart of one of the most exclusive destinations in the world

Key Responsibilities

• Welcoming and advising an international clientele with a refined, personalized approach
• Sharing the ZHIGGIE universe and presenting pieces with precision and discretion
• Building long-term client relationships and contributing to the boutique's development
• Managing sales, duty-free procedures and after-sales service
• Collecting and updating client information (CRM)
• Receiving, tagging and organizing new arrivals
• Maintaining boutique and stockroom organization
• Assisting with visual merchandising and product replenishment
• Supporting inventory counts
• Participating in content creation and campaign shootings when needed

Profile

• A first experience in luxury retail or high-end service (fashion, accessories, hospitality) is a plus, not a requirement
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Strong sense of service, discretion and persuasion
• Genuine sensitivity to fashion, silhouettes and product detail
• Fluent spoken English is essential (the Saint-Barth clientele is largely American); French is a plus
• Valid driving licence required (essential to get around the island)
• Highly presentable and comfortable in a luxury retail environment

Your Application: Two Short Videos Instead of a Written Exercise

We are not looking for a polished production: a smartphone is perfectly fine. We are looking for you: your presence, your voice, your spontaneity. Each video is filmed in a single continuous take, with no cuts, no editing, no teleprompter and no on-screen text.

Video 1, introduce yourself

(minimum 1 minute, in English). Tell us, simply and naturally, who you are and why ZHIGGIE.

Video 2, in the boutique

(minimum 1 minute, in English, one single take). Choose the piece you love most in your own wardrobe: a skirt, a dress, a jacket, whatever speaks to you. With the piece in your hands, present it face to camera as if a client were standing in front of you in the boutique: the fabric, the cut, how you would wear it. Not a sales pitch: a genuine, refined conversation. Then, in the same take, imagine the client hesitates and says: "I love it, but I'm afraid it might be too dressed-up for me." Answer her spontaneously, in one or two sentences, without pressure.

Film horizontally or vertically, in good light, with clearly audible sound. Send the videos via a WeTransfer or Google Drive link, or as attachments if the file size allows. Edited or scripted videos will not be considered: we would rather see an imperfect, lively take.

Joining ZHIGGIE means becoming part of a young luxury house rooted in savoir-faire français, where attention to detail, storytelling and human connection are central to every client interaction. In Saint-Barthélemy, you will be part of the founding team of a brand-new boutique, immersed in the rhythm of the Caribbean winter season, its golden light, its discreet and faithful clientele, at the heart of a house in full development.
