Personal Shopper, UK (Level 1- Mid Level)

Job Description

Reporting to our Personal Shopping Managers, our Personal Shoppers will drive the sale of luxury items to a global clientele by being the first port of call for all customer requests.

You will build, maintain and develop important relationships with your clients to provide the most personal luxury shopping experience possible.

You are expected to have a client book of regular and loyal clients which you will continue to build and develop.

As well as your base salary, you will also receive a great commission structure plus bonus. We also have a great Shopper Program for your career development which will allow you to level up as you hit your targets.

Salary for this role can start from £25k base in our Style Concierge team and go up to £40-45k base for a seasoned Personal Shopper. This is in line with our Shopper programme. This is a base salary, not including our amazing commission packages which would be on top and almost double your earnings!

This role and the team are hybrid based out of Telephone House in Shoreditch, London. This role does have in-office expectations because of how we operate as a team and business, and although we’re really open to what those are and how they work, this team does require 3 days a week together in the office.

We regret that we are not open to fully remote applications right now for this reason, but what we can offer is a flexible working approach which can be discussed per role and a host of team cultural activities and treats in our office.
