• Mate sales techniques and product knowledge for newer team members, and support onboarding
• Process sales, returns, exchanges, repairs, and alteration orders accurately at the register
• Track alteration and repair orders from intake through customer pickup
• Partner with our e-commerce customer service team to resolve cross-channel customer issues
• Receive, process, and stock incoming shipments, and support cycle counts and inventory accuracy
• Keep merchandising standards, floor sets, and cleanliness sharp across the sales floor and stockroom
• Communicate shift notes, sales results, and operational issues to the Store Manager at handoff

What We’re Looking For

• Experience with POS systems and cash handling
• Strong customer service and clienteling skills
• Demonstrated reliability, attendance, and punctuality
• Sound judgment and the confidence to serve as point of contact on shift
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
• Availability to work opening and closing shifts, weekends, and holidays
• Ability to stand and walk for up to 8 hours per shift, use stairs and ladders while carrying product, and safely lift up to 30 lbs
