Assistant Retail Manager

ARI Soho is a New York City-based brand offering Italian-made luxury clothing and accessories. Founded in 2001, ARI is what founder and designer Moshe Ben-Ari likes to call a \"lifestyle brand\". Our stores in SoHo, Miami, and Beverly Hills are not traditional retail spaces; they are immersive environments where clients gather, connect, and experience the brand. Music, conversation, craftsmanship, and community define the ARI atmosphere.

ARI believes in the power of timeless, classic pieces that fit right. Craftsmanship and the finest materials are at the heart of ARI’s identity, and every piece carries forward the legacy of Italian artisanal tradition.
