About The Black Tux 

We’re here to help people look their best and feel confident—for big days and everyday. We design and manufacture modern formal wear with an incredible fit by sourcing natural fabrics like merino wool, breathable linen and cotton, plush velvet, and luxurious silk from the finest textile mills. With expert stylists in our physical showrooms across the US, our online predictive fit process, and an industry-leading customer service team, we guarantee a perfect fit every time.

About the Team

In this role, you'll be joining the Retail team. The Retail team spans across 7 brick and mortar showrooms and over 45 Nordstrom locations, all crucial to supporting our customers. This team specializes in looking at the diverse needs of our customers and uses their expertise to meet people where they are, guide them where they want to be, and seamlessly solve problems along the way.

You will spend most of your time training and coaching in person, with a smaller portion of your time adapting and building supporting materials. You are not the owner of the central curriculum, but you are the person who brings it to life in the field and tailors it to what each team needs.

• A background in retail selling, styling, or service that lets you coach with credibility.

• Comfort traveling across your territory, including overnights.

• Proficiency with everyday business tools (Google Workspace or Microsoft Office) and virtual platforms (Zoom, Teams, Meet).

• Content-creation ability using an LMS is a plus.

• Competitive medical, dental, vision, and disability plans

• Option to participate in a  401(k) plan through Betterment 

• Flexible paid time off and paid holidays 

• Monthly cell phone reimbursement

• Monthly wellness stipend

• 6 weeks paid parental leave; an additional 6-8 weeks disability leave for eligible birthing parents
