The Breakdown:
Burton is looking for social individuals to spread the stoke as part of our retail team at our Burlington, VT Flagship Store. Our team is the Jake-blue thread that connects our brand to your community and the snowboarding community at large. Our Key Holders provide invaluable connections to our customers every day. From Santa Monica, CA to Wrentham, MA each flagship store carries a unique vibe, tells a compelling story, and hosts events tailored to the community in which they sit.
Are you passionate about assisting riders of all ages, ability levels and backgrounds? Do you embrace the outdoor community and the gear required to get out there?
