Full Time Sales Associate: Home & Gift
About the role: Our full time sales associate role is not your typical retail job — you'll be an important member of our small team, responsible for everything that happens in the shop daily from open to close: from inventory processing, to spreadsheets and expenses, to shipping online orders, to visual merchandising and of course working on the sales floor. Downtime is rare in this busy, high-paced, high-responsibility position.
Location: LEIF Home & Gift — 99 Grand Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. For this high traffic location, we're seeking someone with a high level of energy and accountability, a commanding presence (sense of ownership) and a strong love of retail — this location requires someone with a very strong sense of urgency, who is excellent at multi-tasking and who thrives on being extremely busy.
Schedule: 40 hrs/week. Full day (11am-7pm) and full weekend availability is required.
Compensation: $21.50 — $23/hr starting wage based on recent/relevant experience
Benefits: annual pay increases, employer-subsidized health/vision/dental benefits, 2 weeks PTO, plus an employee discount on all merchandise
Company culture: we're a tiny but mighty, straightforward and close-knit team who values loyalty, fairness, clear communication, a strong work ethic and sense of urgency, attention to detail & shares a love of beautiful things
