Job description

Do you have a knack for style? A way with people? Then you could be the perfect fit. Proper Cloth is one of the most respected and premium menswear brands in NYC that is also values-driven and has opportunities for growth.

We're looking for a Showroom Lead Client Advisor to assist clients in our beautiful Soho showroom. As a Showroom Lead Client Advisor you will be instrumental in representing the Proper Cloth brand in person.

We're a small team and the right person has the potential to make a big difference. You’ll be getting hands on experience by interacting and selling to our high end clientele.
