Overview
Glossier is a people-first beauty company on a mission to give everyone a voice through beauty. As an Experience Editor, you sit at the heart of our brand activations and store experience - the primary storyteller and point of contact guiding guests through every touchpoint, from the moment they step into the space to the moment they leave, product in hand and story to tell.
This holiday season, we're bringing our brand activation and store operation together into one seamless guest journey. You'll be trained across both worlds: the immersive, performance-driven activation space and the day-to-day rhythm of the store floor - moving fluidly between them so that every guest, whether they're queuing for an experience or shopping for a product, gets a cohesive, memorable, and uniquely Glossier moment.
Our north-star values are Human, Curious, Playful, and Helpful, and our mission is to become the Most Loved Lifestyle Brand in the World. Joy is our language - and you'll help set that tone for guests and teammates alike.
