We are inclusive, customer-devoted, curious, courageous, discerning, and results-driven.

Our store teams operate in environments fueled by our people-first employee experience philosophy rooted in authenticity, integrity, inclusion, equity, and empathy. As an Editor, it is your job to ensure the customer experience lives through with our product, its presentation, packaging, and care. Driven by an authentic desire to collaborate and engage with others, you will inspire and create exceptional experiences for our customers as they discover and deepen their connection with our brand through our products - whether in-store, picking up an online order, or processing a return or exchange. As an avid team player, you will collaborate with all members of the store team to ensure every customer touchpoint throughout their experience is cohesive and seamless. Known for being optimistic and able to find joy with everyday interactions, you will help set the tone for the overall culture within the store team - joy is our language!

As part of the store’s team, you will be fully immersed in every aspect of our customers’ journeys as they visit our stores. Therefore, as an Editor, you will be trained in all aspects of the store operation, including our customer-facing and back-of-house operations. You will assist with coverage and will be equipped to work in both environments, front and back of the house. Having a holistic understanding of the customer journey, from start to finish, will strengthen our team’s abilities when assisting customers with any and all inquiries - with leadership guidance and support as needed.
