AE - Brand Ambassador (Sales Associate)

Your Role As a part‑time Brand Ambassador, you bring our brand to life every day. Your goal is to provide everyone who comes in the store with an amazing shopping experience, making their day better than before they came in. You are the face of our company and you’re proud of it. You love the products and are passionate about building brand loyalty with every guest. Most of all, you represent our company values and bring your real self to work every day. Your Responsibilities You use the AEO selling model to engage with every guest to help them find exactly what they’re looking for, with a “friends first” mindset. You are passionate about AE & Aerie products. Guests come to you to educate them on product details and you are excited to make product suggestions to fit their needs. You share the brand love by introducing the AEO loyalty program and additional brand channels to guests. You can adapt to any zone and flex between the sales floor, cash & wrap, fitting room, and stockroom as needed. You solve problems innovatively, resolving guest concerns while sticking to company policy. You are a team player and always willing to assist your team in getting the job done. You have integrity, doing the right thing and always adhering to AEO policies and procedures. You'd Be Great For This Role If You love interacting with people. You are full of energy and can handle multiple tasks in a fast‑paced environment. You are available to work when guests shop (evenings, weekends, holidays). You love AE and Aerie products. You have worked in retail before. You’re at least 16 years of age. Our Brand Ambassadors Love AEO Because They work with real people – there’s nothing like your AEO family. They’re given opportunities for development, the chance to learn new skills, and are offered great potential for career advancement. They receive 40% off product at both AE & Aerie year‑round (plus additional seasonal discounts with new floorsets). They participate in store contests for the chance to win free merchandise and other exclusive prizes.
