About the Brand:
For more than 40 years, Wine Enthusiast has helped people create exceptional wine experiences at home. While our heritage is rooted in wine culture, our retail boutiques are not wine stores. Instead, we specialize in premium wine refrigerators, custom wine storage, furniture, glassware, entertaining essentials, and thoughtfully curated accessories for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Our boutiques are destination retail environments where customers receive expert guidance in selecting products that enhance their homes, lifestyles, and entertaining spaces. In addition to personalized consultations, we host private events and community experiences that celebrate craftsmanship, design, and hospitality.
We are seeking a passionate and customer-focused Sales Associate to represent our boutique in SoHo. This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys creating meaningful connections, delivering exceptional service, and helping customers discover premium products through a personalized shopping experience.
This is not a wine sales position. Our boutique specializes in premium wine refrigerators, wine storage solutions, furniture, glassware, and lifestyle accessories. You will help customers find products that enhance their homes, collections, and entertaining spaces through thoughtful, consultative selling.
As a brand ambassador, you will bring the customer experience to life through authentic engagement, product knowledge, and personalized recommendations. You will support daily sales initiatives, maintain store standards, and collaborate with teammates to create a welcoming, service-driven environment.
The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced retail setting, balances multiple priorities with attention to detail, and brings enthusiasm, professionalism, and a willingness to learn. Depending on business needs, this role may include opening and closing responsibilities, keyholder duties, and supporting daily store operations.
As part of the Leap platform, you may also have opportunities to support other brands within our portfolio through new store openings, activations, and market coverage needs.
Hourly Pay Range: $19 – $22/hr. This role is commission eligible.
Compensation will be determined based on the candidate’s experience, skills, competencies, and qualifications.
