Job description

SuitShop's Seattle Showroom is looking for a full-time Associate Showroom Manager to add to the team. We welcome all experienced people passionate about fashion, suiting, e-commerce, retail and the wedding industry to consider this role.

About This Position

SuitShop is a US-based e-commerce suiting company–the first online brand of its kind, offering high quality, size- and gender-inclusive suiting at an affordable price point. With eight brick-and-mortar showrooms in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, DC, Houston, Philadelphia, and Seattle along with tech-driven online sizing solutions and best-in-class customer service, SuitShop is experiencing record growth and is excited to bring new Showroom Managers onto the team. SuitShop is focused on career development, and all team members access unique opportunities to participate in and learn about all aspects of an apparel tech start-up.

About Us

SuitShop offers suiting starting at $199 made for anybody & every body. Originally named The Groomsman Suit, SuitShop was born out of co-founder and designer Jeanne’s (not-so-great) experience suiting up her own wedding group in rental tuxedos. Childhood best friend Diana, graduate of MIT’s Sloan School of Management, joined to pioneer a new path in special-event suiting.

Since then, SuitShop has secured a place amongst the leading wedding industry brands, expanded to serve special occasions beyond weddings as well as everyday suiting and more, and opened six physical showrooms. We’ve grown an incredibly strong online presence and suited up over 100k people. And we’re just getting started!
