If you're looking for that next step in your career, make it famous! To us, famous isn’t about standing out in the crowd. It’s about feeling good where you stand right now. Famous Footwear is your place for athletic, fashion and casual shoes for the whole family from hundreds of name brands.

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.

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.
