Overview: 

Support one passion with another working three days a week with full benefits.  Room & Board, an innovative retailer of mid-century modern home furnishings, is growing in New York City! We are looking for three-day Design Associates for our transforming SoHo location and our new store in Chelsea.

Our Weekend Design Associate has all the advantages of a full-time employee with a progressive salary and full-time benefits while working a part-time schedule (24 hours/week). The schedule will be working every Saturday and Sunday plus one additional day/evening during the week.

Room & Board's Design Associates engage our customer in the sales process, helping them create homes they love. Our Design Associates' passion for design, commitment to building long-term customer relationships and desire to build respectful and collaborative peer relationships are the qualities that set us apart from other retailers. They are the cornerstone of the customer experience.

Our Design Associates view the selling process as a problem-solving opportunity and are skilled at asking customers the right questions. They listen intently and give the customer the confidence they need to make the best decision for their home. They are typically not interior designers. However they do have a strong sense of style, a passion for home furnishings and a strong knowledge of contemporary design influences that shape our products.

Our Design Associates bring a diverse set of life experiences to the role. While we welcome the opportunity to consider those individuals with a traditional retail sales background, we are open to considering other types of experiences and backgrounds. With their maturity, our Design Associates are skilled at building respectful and professional relationships with their peers and have the desire to support the success of others.

At Room & Board, our Design Associates are paid a strong salary that recognizes their broad contribution to the success of the business. This is not an opportunity for someone motivated by commission and individual success.

To serve our customer, this role does require evening and weekend hours.

Room & Board is an environment of inclusion.  Find your home with Room & Board!
