About Character
At Character, we don’t just offer clothes, flowers, and plants. We aim to provide solid experiences, curate human connections, and share our gifts with those we connect with. Our customers visit for the curiosity, stay for the goods, and hopefully leave with a little more wonder than they came in with. Looking for a role that goes beyond running a register and folding sweaters? We just might be a smashing good fit.
What’s Your Character?
We’re seeking a Store Associate / Assistant Manager with a good sense of humor, a commitment to customer connections, and a dollop of creativity. The role involves both managing day-to-day store operations and curating customer experiences. The role involves wearing many hats ( yup, we also carry hats), but always with the goal of building lasting relationships with both customers and our team.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage the store with style: Ensure the daily operations run smoother than silk shirts. From opening to closing, this role ensures everything is in place: cash balanced, inventory stocked, displays looking splendid, and customers feeling seen (and lookin’ good).
- Lead with empathy and energy: Step into the shoes of a hospitality pro. This role requires anticipating customer needs, and guiding them to great outcomes. (Even if it’s the 42nd time explaining how to not kill succulents.)
- Floral finesse: Flower arrangement superstar skills are not required. (We’ve got that covered). This role helps to ensure our floral section stays top-notch and involves overseeing orders, care instructions, and keeping flower arrangements fresh and fantastic.
- Keep it cool: Our store is a space where creativity, fun, and precision meet. It means balancing occasional madness (hello, mid-afternoon rush) with the calm assurance that comes from confidence and experience.
About the role:
- Experience: Experience in retail management, ideally in fashion or lifestyle sectors. Make a sale, sure. But most importantly, know how to make a connection.
- Character: More than a name; it’s the core of what we do. We’re looking for folks who are curious, approachable, and get a bang out of connecting with others.
- Multitasking skills: Sometimes it’s a circus act: juggling moving parts—whether it’s keeping the store organized, or handling customer inquiries, we do it all while keeping things running smooth.
