For the Eyewear Stylist, the focus should shift slightly away from the clinical/technical and move heavily toward curation, aesthetic storytelling, and the "art" of the sale. This role is about the transformation - helping a client find their visual identity.
Here is the refined and elevated version:
About the Role
At Spectacle, an Eyewear Stylist is a curator of confidence. Your purpose is to exceed client expectations by blending high-fashion expertise with "legendary" service. You aren't just selling frames; you are helping individuals discover their visual identity through our world-class collection of eyewear and sunwear.
With a deep understanding of Spectacle’s mission and award-winning history, you will ensure every visitor is met with genuine enthusiasm, honesty, and a level of expertise that makes them feel like a VIP.
Think of yourself as part trend-forecaster, part personal shopper, part problem-solver, and a 100% brand ambassador.
What You’ll Do
- Curate the Look: Provide a personalized, concierge-style shopping experience. You’ll guide clients through our "gallery" of frames, offering expert advice on face shapes, color theory, and current fashion trends.
- Build an Eyewear Wardrobe: Educate clients on the value of specialized eyewear (sun, computer, fashion-forward) to ensure their vision needs are met for every aspect of their life.
- Master the Product: Develop an encyclopedic knowledge of our independent brands, their craftsmanship, and the stories behind the designers.
- Maintain the Aesthetic: Take pride in the visual merchandising of the store, ensuring the gallery remains flawless, organized, and inviting at all times.
- Cultivate Community: Communicate Spectacle’s values and brand philosophy, turning one-time visitors into lifelong "Spectacle enthusiasts."
- Collaborate & Innovate: Brainstorm creative ways to optimize the client journey and share successful sales strategies with the team.
Your Personality
- Fashion-Forward: You have an innate sense of style and a genuine passion for the latest trends in eyewear and design.
- The "Ultimate" Host: You are energetic, empathetic, and driven by a desire to make people look and feel their best.
- Agile & Proactive: You thrive in a fast-paced environment, are quick on your feet, and eager to take initiative.
- Detail-Oriented: You have an "eagle eye" for accuracy - from processing orders correctly to spotting a fingerprint on a lens from across the room.
- Entrepreneurial Spirit: You treat the store like your own, with a "no task is too small" attitude and a drive to meet and exceed goals.
- Polished & Professional: You project a stylish, professional image that aligns with the Spectacle brand.
- Balanced: You are super serious about your craft, but you know how to have fun and keep the energy high for your team and clients.
Qualifications
- The "Style" Factor: A successful candidate is a natural team player with a sharp fashion sense and a background in retail, design, or luxury service.
- Sales Excellence: Proven experience in a sales-driven environment is required. You should be comfortable with "the ask" while maintaining a soft-touch, advisory approach.
- Communication Guru: Exceptional verbal skills - you can tell a story about a frame that makes a client fall in love with it.
- Flexibility: Availability to work a retail schedule, including weekends and some evenings for exclusive brand events or extended hours.
