Core Pillars of Ownership

1. People Leadership & Cultural Stewardship (#AllTogether)

• Servant Leadership: Lead with the philosophy that taking care of your team is the first step in taking care of the guest. Foster an environment of psychological safety where every voice matters and courageous feedback is the norm.
• Talent Curation & Multiplication: Actively source and curate a diverse community of talent. Maintain a constant state of recruitment by cultivating a Talent Portfolio of high-potential prospective candidates. You are responsible for identifying high-potential "bench" talent and preparing them for their next step to support brand growth. Your success is measured by your team’s ability to replicate your high-level results when you are not in the building.
• Coaching through Complexity: Lead through ambiguity with a firm point of view. Conduct a regular cadence of structured one-on-one sessions with every team member. You lead with constant real-time feedback, demonstrating high-functioning resourcefulness and resolute decision-making, even when scenarios aren't black and white.

2. Merchant Excellence & Styling Obsession (#AlwaysInnovate)

• Operational Stewardship: You maintain a store that is "Grand Opening Ready" every day. This includes meticulous floor maintenance, a "no-compromise" approach to back-of-house organization, operational excellence, and total inventory integrity.
• Asset Protection & Safety: Maintain "Timeless" standards through rigorous audits and shrinkage control to protect the store's physical assets and fiscal health. Lead with a safety-first mentality, ensuring the well-being of your team and guests.

• Data-Driven Pivot: Use merch reporting and analytics to validate your intuition. Pivot your business strategy based on performance insights rather than reacting solely to daily foot traffic.

4. Enlightened Hospitality & Advanced Clienteling (#PowerOfPositivity)

• The Relational Selling Methodology: Lead the team in the masterful execution of the brand’s selling model. You are responsible for ensuring that every guest interaction is grounded in authentic connection, utilizing specific lifestyle discoveries to move beyond a transactional experience and build long-term loyalty

• Relational Outreach Cadence: Drive a disciplined, high-volume outreach strategy. You are expected to consistently hit or exceed company engagement goals by implementing a rigorous system of team accountability. You must ensure that every associate is not only meeting outreach targets but is doing so with the quality and intentionality required to grow their individual book of business.
• Clienteling ROI: Drive measurable revenue through digital engagement. You must analyze outreach data to ensure a high Repeat Client Rate and meet specific dollar-generated targets, ensuring the team is leveraging every guest insight to drive predictable, long-term growth.
• Omnichannel Ownership: Treat the digital business (SFS/BOPIS) with the same urgency as the physical floor, ensuring a seamless "customer-first" approach.

5. Community Integration & External Impact (#Timeless)

• Market Ambassadorship: Serve as the primary face of the brand within your community, consistently looking beyond the four walls to identify high-impact networking and hyper-local engagement opportunities. Build and leverage a robust local ecosystem of partners, business owners, community leaders, and influencers. Position the store as a central neighborhood hub and a local bridge for our wholesale partners, ensuring Faherty’s brand standards extend to our specialty accounts within the territory.

Strategic Event Planning & Execution: Curate brand-elevating experiences designed to reach new audiences. You are responsible for the end-to-end strategy of in-store and off-site activations, ensuring every event aligns with our Enlightened Hospitality standards and brand aesthetic, and is a deliberate driver of measurable additional traffic. Every event carries a strict ROI requirement. You are held accountable for the "Sky’s the Limit" mentality of guest acquisition, ensuring that every event creates a surge in store energy and footfall.

  • Data Capture Excellence: Quality and quantity of new client profiles added to the database.

A bit about us:

Founded in 2013 by Mike and Alex Faherty and Kerry Docherty, Faherty is a family-run lifestyle and apparel brand fueled by purpose and optimism. Our goal: to build a new American legacy by creating high-quality, sustainably minded, feel-good favorites that will bring you joy to wear.

We feel a deep responsibility to do things differently: to promise comfort without compromising quality. To hold ourselves to a higher standard with a lower environmental impact. To leave the world a better place than we found it.

We recognize the impact the fashion industry has on the world, and we’re dedicated to learning how to be better stewards of the planet. We believe the power of conversation and connection can make real change, and we’re committed to supporting people and organizations doing work that we believe in.

Our passionate leadership team comes from different backgrounds but share a singular goal: to deliver on our promise of comfort and craftsmanship. To work side-by-side in a collaborative, energetic, and creative environment every day, like the family we are.

We welcome everyone — and we mean everyone. We believe a diversity of viewpoints, experiences, and backgrounds only serve to make our team stronger, which is why we strongly encourage those from historically and systemically marginalized communities to apply: BIPOC, women, and people in the LGBTQIA+ community, to name a few. We strive to lead consciously, bravely, and inclusively — and to reflect those values in our work. Employees should embody the five core values of the Faherty team:

Always Innovate

Day One Mentality
