Job description

As a Famous Footwear Sales Associate, you are passionate about providing the best shoe store experience for every customer. You do this by creating a welcoming environment and in-store culture where customers say, “I’ll take it” and are loyal to your store, our brands, and our company. You are a team player, celebrating individual and team successes. You are committed to staying informed about trends and sharing that knowledge with customers, ultimately building engaging customer experiences. Most importantly, you LOVE shoes and regardless of your style, you help every person who enters the store experience a little bit of that Famous Feeling.

What You’ll be Doing

• Ace Retail Operations: You’ll ensure daily store tasks (pricing, shipment processing, fulfillment and inventory) are dialed in, keeping the store running like a tightly laced sneaker. Utilizing our company standards as a framework for success, you’ll deliver on our goal of keeping the store clean, organized, and all our famous styles easily shoppable.
• Be a Famous Culture Influencer: Champion our Famous culture with pride by embodying the behaviors that power our Customer Connection. You’ll provide stellar customer engagement, leaving customers wowed with consistently top‑notch experiences powered by your attentiveness and determination to deliver them the styles and brands they crave.
• Elevate to Your Goal‑Crushing Era: You’ll bring your best to each day; take accountability for your effort and its impact on Famous Footwear’s overall performance. You’ll review store performance and drive sales with purpose and urgency to achieve goals. Every shoe sale counts!

Maintain a positive and proactive mindset, even in the face of challenges, you’re the type of person to uplift and support others. To help others be their best, you’ll help your teammates be their best selves by assisting with training and development when needed.
• Be a Shoe-off: You are shoe-obsessed (no judgment.) When a customer enters the store, you’re a shoe sleuth on the hunt for the perfect styles to suit their needs. It brightens your day to make shoe recommendations and ensure our customers leave the store with the perfect fit…and that Famous Feeling.

Essential Functions: Other responsibilities may be performed as needed to ensure the needs of the business are met. Overtime hours may be required to meet business needs.
