The Role: At Freebird, product and people are the heartbeat of our story and the "sole" of our brand.
Creating beautiful, unique boots laid the foundation to that story but the feet inside our boots built the journey.
Freebird employees reject the norms of an ordinary customer experience and pride ourselves on building deep and genuine relationships with our customers.
Those relationships have always been at the forefront of everything we do and is the reason why we are so excited to rapidly expand our store footprint throughout the U.S. As we experience hyper growth, we are looking for career driven individuals that are as obsessed with creating an exceptional customer experience as we are.
Beyond building beautiful stores we will be hiring teams of unique and diverse individuals that represent our brand and our mission in each region.
These teams will be a part of shaping the voice and character associated with the Freebird name.
These individuals will have the opportunity to career climb in a quickly growing company that puts people and product above all else.
The ideal candidate will be passionate, self-driven, and a highly organized individual with a desire to make a difference in people's lives.
Additionally, they will be confident, creative, bright, friendly, helpful, detail-oriented, and able to consistently perform at the highest level.
Candidates must be well spoken and confident in their ability to interact with strangers, as well as be able to remain calm and organized at all times.
