Since our humble beginnings selling t-shirts out of a VW bus, we’ve grown… a lot. Marine Layer now has over 45 stores nationwide, a bustling e-commerce and catalog business, and a fast-growing wholesale biz to boot.
Our success has been built on a small, hard-working team that has a lot of fun and passionately believes in what we are building. We’ve managed to transition from a start-up into a national brand by staying true to our roots and thoughtfully expanding the team with some incredibly talented (and fun) people who want to help us build something special.
We’re looking for someone pretty special to help us slang a few tees and get the word out about Marine Layer at our new stores. This is not a typical retail position because we are not a typical company. While selling shirts and maintaining the store are both very important, we primarily want someone who is personable, self-motivated and 110% committed to the success of their store and the brand as a whole.
We need someone who can represent our lifestyle and company culture from hundreds of miles away. While we will (of course) be involved in branding, merchandising, events and training, it is very important for you to be an independent self starter. We want you to want (not a ‘The Break-Up’ movie reference) to work hard alongside your team, motivate them to success, and have fun while doing just that.
Job Criteria
Customer Experience — We want people to walk out of our stores excited about our brand. You should be (pretty) funny, (very) charismatic and be one hell of a host(ess) of the party. You’ll always want to help inspire the team to deliver a customer experience that is genuine and exceeds expectations .
Merchandising — Our product needs to look good and sell well in our stores. It just doesn’t sell itself by sitting on a shelf…which would be cool but let’s be real. It’s important for you to have a keen eye for merchandising and visual standards. Have those piles look ‘purdy’ and well stocked.
Operations — We need operational excellence as there’s always (and we mean always) something to do. The ability to learn and train others in but not limited to POS skills, LP training, back and front of house standards. A well operated and functioning store is a well loved store.
Qualifications
Desire to work in a start‐up (ish) environment: A lot of people say they want to work at a start-up; not as many people really know what that means. Here it means we all work very hard, we believe deeply in the future of this company, and we all do a lotta bit of everything.
Cultural Fit: This is a close-knit group that gets along extremely well. We all work hard, but manage to have a lot of fun along the way. We’re all working towards the same goal of making Marine Layer something special and if you are on board for that (and don’t have a stick up your butt) you’ll fit in really well.
Marine Layer is proud to be an equal opportunity employer that welcomes applicants and employees of all genders, races, backgrounds, orientations, and nationalities. #whateveryoureinto
