Fabric Associates are retail workers who specialize in textiles and fabrics, assisting customers in selecting materials for sewing, crafts, or upholstery projects. They are knowledgeable about various types of fabrics, their uses, and care instructions. Fabric Associates also measure and cut fabric, maintain store displays, and ensure inventory is stocked. They provide customer service by answering questions, offering recommendations, and sometimes helping with basic sewing advice.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a fabric associate in a retail setting?

As a Fabric Associate in a retail environment, you can expect to spend your days assisting customers with fabric selections, cutting fabric to customer specifications, and answering questions about different textiles and notions. Additionally, you'll help maintain an organized and visually appealing sales floor, restock fabric bolts, and ensure pricing accuracy. Collaboration with team members is common, especially during busy periods or when handling large fabric orders, and you may also assist in inventory management and special in-store promotions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a fabric associate, and why are they important?

Job description

YOUR ROLE
You can't buy product if it's not on the floor, right?! As a part-time stock brand Ambassador, you're an expert at keeping product moving from the Stockroom to the Salesfloor through shipment processing, replenishment, markdowns and merchandising. You've got a passion for AEO Brand Standards, an eye for merchandising and a keen attention to detail. Even though the Stockroom is #yourplace, you're able to flex your skills to support your team and guests on the Salesfloor as needed. Most importantly, you represent AEO values and you bring your REAL self to work every day!

 
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
  • You've got a passion for brand standards: You're a go-getter when it comes to keeping product moving and you do so through effective and timely shipment processing, replenishment, markdowns and merchandising.
  • The Stockroom is your home base and you #ownit! You're a master at keeping the Stockroom running efficiently and productively by ensuring merchandise, visual props, marketing and fixtures stay organized.
  • You're innovative: Whenever you see a merchandising opportunity, you inform store leadership, make a game plan, and take action to correct it.
  • You know that teamwork makes the dream work: You're always prepared to step in and help fellow team members complete non stock-related tasks or assist with guests.
  • Integrity is your middle name: Safety standards are a priority to you, both in the Stockroom and on the Salesfloor. You follow Asset Protection standards and always adhere to AEO's policies and procedures.
YOU'D BE GREAT FOR THIS ROLE IF:
  • You love AE and Aerie products!
  • You love organization and have attention to detail; priority-setting and time management are your strong suits.
  • You have flexible availability- you're there to get product moving early in the morning, late in the evening and on the weekends.
  • You've worked in a stock-related role previously - #practicemakesperfect.
OUR ASSOCIATES LOVE AEO BECAUSE:
  • They work with REAL people - there's nothing like your #AEOFamily.
  • They're given opportunities for development, the chance to learn new skills, and are offered great potential for career advancement.
  • They receive 40% off product at both AE & Aerie year-round (plus additional seasonal discounts with new Floorsets!)
  • They participate in store contests for the chance to win FREE merchandise and other exclusive prizes.
 
Built on a platform of power, positivity and no photo retouching - inspiring people to love their real selves. Aerie is a fast-growing lifestyle brand offering intimates, apparel, activewear, and swim collections. With the #AerieREAL movement, we celebrate our community by advocating for body positivity and the empowerment of all women. As part of our Real Good promise, we create swimsuits, bras, and underwear with materials made from recycled polyester, recycled nylon fabric or sustainably sourced cotton.
