This is a full-time position, typically requiring 40 hours per week with a flexible schedule that includes mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays.

As a Retail Sales Associate at Joybird, you will be entrusted with key responsibilities such as opening and closing the store, managing sales floor activities during busy periods, and providing leadership in the absence of store management. Serving as a bridge between customers and the company, you will create meaningful interactions that foster client relationships, build personal clientele, and maximize sales potential.

Candidates ideally possess a minimum of two years’ retail sales experience with some supervisory exposure, proficiency in Mac and Microsoft Office platforms, and an aptitude for leadership and communication.
