Assist with inventory management by monitoring tailoring supplies and requesting replenishment from management as needed.

Support front‑of‑house activities—cleaning, restocking merchandise, assisting customers—as directed.

Participate in customer consultations at management's direction, offering guidance and recommendations on alterations and garment fit. Deliver an exceptional customer experience by listening to customer needs and offering personalized solutions.

Qualifications

• Ability to operate small tools and equipment—needles, scissors, sewing machines, presses—with precision.
• Ability to understand, follow, and execute detailed instructions.
• Ability to sit and stand for extended periods.
• Strong attention to detail to ensure all garments meet quality standards.
• Excellent time‑management skills to complete each alteration efficiently within designated timeframes.
• Ability to communicate clearly and professionally.
• Ability to read, count, and write to complete required documentation accurately.
