As a Seasonal Champion, you play a key role in creating a welcoming, energized, and customer-focused environment during our busiest time of year.

Your leadership helps set the tone for the season and ensures customers and colleagues alike feel valued and supported.

How Our Seasonal Champions Spend Their Day

• Every day starts with a positive example. As a Seasonal Champion, you come in energized and ready to make an impact - wearing your name badge with pride, greeting teammates with warmth, and helping ensure the sales floor is clean, organized, and ready for customers. You help set the pace by reviewing sales goals, learning about new arrivals and top-selling items, and staying up to date on trends and promotions - so you're prepared to support the team and engage customers confidently.
• On the floor, you lead through action - by welcoming customers and new colleagues with genuine hospitality, making eye contact, and starting friendly, personal conversations that build lasting relationships. You foster a welcoming culture by supporting onboarding efforts for new colleagues and by setting the tone for consistent service from the start.
• You help maintain a shoppable space by recovering fitting rooms, updating signs and pricing, helping with support functions in the store, and jumping in on merchandise moves-keeping the floor looking great throughout the day.
• You help the team Finish Strong - by reminding them to share Loyalty benefits, making sure customers leave with everything they need, and ending each interaction with a sincere thank-you, often using the customer's name and adding a personal touch.
• You know that service starts with each other. You model collaboration, honesty, and care-supporting your peers so the whole team can better serve our customers and communities.
• And we know that excellence is a journey - we strive to improve every day, take pride in our work, achieve sales goals and learn from each other to deliver individual and store results.
