Our stylists are at the heart of our business—and the Product Procurement Specialist plays a critical role in supporting them to deliver exceptional client experiences.

  • Own product requests from initiation to fulfillment, providing seller updates and ensuring timely resolution
  • Keep stylists informed of specialty capsules, exclusive trunk shows, and new product launches accompanied by guidelines and images within the store

 

WHAT YOU WILL BRING:

  • 1-3 years of experience in a luxury retail environment, preferably in a merchandising, store operations, or client service support role
  • Knowledge of product flow, inventory, and vendor relations
  • Proven ability to support and collaborate with high-performing sellers
  • Exceptional organizational and communication skills with a strong attention to detail
  • Proven ability to manage multiple requests and priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Service driven mindset with a passion for helping sellers and clients
