• Maintain store cleanliness, organization, and visual standards
• Follow all store procedures related to safety, cash handling, and operations
• Work collaboratively with team members and leadership to support store goals

What We're Looking For

• Retail, hospitality, or customer-facing experience required
• Strong communication skills with a calm, approachable presence
• Professional, dependable, and punctual
• Comfortable engaging in consultative conversations with customers
• Detail-oriented and able to follow procedures accurately
• Comfortable working in an intimacy and wellness retail environment with discretion
• Availability to work evenings and weekends

This role is best suited for someone who takes pride in their work, values professionalism, and enjoys being part of a high-standard retail environment.
