American Girl, a premium brand and a subsidiary of Mattel, is focused on delivering exceptional experiential retail environments that provide unique and memorable experiences for fans and their families. American Girl retail stores are much more than just shopping destinations; they are immersive environments that offer a range of engaging and interactive experiences, such as Girl and Doll Salons, full-service restaurants, personal shopping, ear piercing for dolls and girls, and special parties or celebrations at various locations. The American Girl Retail team works cohesively to ensure these experiences deliver joy, innovation, and excellent customer service in a dynamic, fast-paced retail setting.

While prior restaurant experience and certifications like ServSafe are preferred, Mattel encourages applicants with varying backgrounds to apply, emphasizing a workplace culture rooted in inclusion and belonging. The role offers a competitive base hourly rate between $17.87 and $19.50, reflective of skills, experience, and location, with opportunities for growth within the company.

Joining Mattel means becoming part of a company that values collaboration, innovation, and execution. Employees are empowered to contribute ideas, challenge conventional thinking, and deliver best-in-class outcomes while working in a supportive team environment. Mattel's commitment to a high-performance culture ensures that each team member has the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while developing professionally and personally.
