$18 to $25 hour (generous hourly + profit share)
Elementally is a thoughtfully filled and beautifully curated clothing, jewelry, and specialty shop that has flourished in Asheville for over 13 years. We are a team of ten close-knit women who strive to empower one another and every being who comes through our doors, and we are excited to be seeking a like-minded individual to join us in this mission.
We are now accepting resumes and applications (please provide us with both in order to be considered) for our Retail Sales Manager position.

- Lead a team of 5 customer care specialists in upholding Elementality’s rigorous standards for customer service and product knowledge

- a solution-driven forward thinker with a positive attitude

Full Time Sales Associate
$13 to $24 hour (generous hourly + personal profit share)
While Elementality is a store that - obviously - sells things, our greater focus is to cultivate a culture of connection, positivity, and empowerment with every interaction we have. We rely on our team of highly knowledgeable and service-oriented sales associates to create this experience for every team member, customer, and friend that comes through our door, and to do so in a truly genuine and authentic manner. As such, we consider this role to be less of a job and more of a profession, and one we take very seriously!
No sales experience is necessary is for this position; instead, we look for individuals with natural confidence, a desire to learn and grow, and excitement about being the best version of themselves while simultaneously uplifting others. All of the rest - we will teach you!
This position is full time (40 hours a week) with a mix of opening and closing shifts (10:30am - 6:30pm and 11:30am - 7:30pm) during days the store is open (currently Monday through Saturday with Sundays beginning in April). Weekends and holidays are required. We are looking to hire someone with open availability within these parameters.
Professional Requirements:

- highly detail oriented
- able to maintain constant awareness of surroundings
- able to multi-task and gracefully accommodate multiple guests simultaneously as needed
- a solution- driven forward thinker with a positive attitude
