Seasonal Sales Associate | Bryant Park Winter Village

Charley's Holiday Season Sales Associate

Hello! We're Charley's, a fun, playful, and fashion-forward accessories brand that's been a fixture at the Bryant Park Holiday Shops for 20+ years. We specialize in cute, colorful, and cozy winter accessories, including hats, gloves, and scarves for adults and kids. We're a small business with a big personality, and we're looking for friendly, energetic, and sales-driven individuals to join our team this holiday season. Our shop is small but mighty, and the holiday season can get incredibly busy! We're looking for people who thrive in a fast-paced environment, love interacting with customers, and know how to create a fun, welcoming shopping experience while keeping things moving. The ideal candidate is personable, proactive, and comfortable balancing excellent customer service with efficient, high-volume sales.

Your responsibilities include:

• Greet customers, help them find the perfect accessories, and offer thoughtful product recommendations and styling suggestions.
• Continuously replenish merchandise throughout the day to keep our displays full, organized, and visually appealing.
• Maintain a clean, tidy, and inviting shopping environment, using quieter moments to organize and prepare for the next rush.
• Help open the shop and replenish inventory before the day begins (for morning shifts).
• Arrive on time, communicate proactively, and work collaboratively with our small team to keep operations running smoothly.

Who we're looking for:

• Friendly, outgoing individuals who genuinely enjoy talking to people.
• Strong sales instincts and the ability to confidently recommend products and close transactions.
• People who are quick on their feet, efficient, and comfortable managing multiple customers at once.
• Reliable, punctual team players who take initiative without needing constant direction.
• Prior retail or sales experience is a plus, but a great attitude and willingness to learn are just as important!
• Ability to help with our social media channels through creating reels and TikToks is a plus.

A few things to know:

This isn't your typical retail job! Our shop is compact, and the holiday crowds can be intense. You'll be on your feet throughout your shift, and while we have space heaters, the shop is open to the elements, so warm clothing is a must.

Schedule & availability:

We're hiring for both weekday and weekend shifts. Hours will be lighter and more variable at the beginning of the season (approximately 1020 hours/week), increasing significantly from mid-November onward (approximately 3040+ hours/week). Availability during the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's holiday weeks, and ideally the holidays themselves, is required.

Compensation & growth:

Starting pay is $20+/hour + bonus, depending on prior retail and sales experience. We're a small, hands-on business that values people who take ownership, learn quickly, and consistently perform well. Strong performers will have opportunities to take on additional responsibilities, grow into shift lead or management roles, and earn increased compensation as the season progresses. If you're energetic, love a good holiday rush, and think you'd be a great fit for our team, we'd love to hear from you!
