Our Story: Short Story is an award winning, technology powered retailer dedicated to petite women 5'4" and under. Our mission is to create a seamless shopping experience for millions of petite women so they can dress with effortless confidence. As a fast-growing startup, we're revolutionizing retail with a data driven learning system that leverages customer feedback to create tailored products. We've been recognized by top publications like Forbes, Fortune and are backed by leading investors who share our vision of building the world's next great consumer brand.

Our Values: We're building a company with intention and purpose. Our culture thrives on data insights, exceptional commitment to fit, and the urgency to move quickly on what matters.

- ✨ Transform Lives. We're customer-first. Everything we create exists to give her confidence.
- ⚡️ Demand Excellence. We deliver only our best work, in Fit and Finish. We obsess about details others overlook.
- 💪 Embrace Challenges. We see obstacles as opportunities to invent better solutions.
- 💡 Think Differently. We get a thrill from finding better solutions others haven't seen.

The Role: We're looking for stylists who take their craft seriously. A successful Short Story stylist has a keen eye for style, figure flattering silhouettes, attention to detail, and great communication skills. You'll be helping clients with your creativity, knowledge, and thoughtfulness. You should be able to recommend outfits and recognize what works well together and what doesn't. You care about getting it right, not just getting it done. Our clients are at the core of everything we do, and that should be reflected in your work.

- Actively incorporate client feedback to improve recommendations

Who You Are:

- Experienced. You've worked as a virtual or online stylist before, or have a strong background in fashion with a genuine eye for style.
- Customer-obsessed. You think about the person on the other end of every box.
- Tech-savvy. You're comfortable working in digital platforms and learning new tools quickly.
- Reliable. You show up, hit your commitments, and manage your time without being managed.
- A strong writer. Your stylist notes are clear, warm, and specific, not generic.

Hours & Scheduling We offer two scheduling options to fit your lifestyle. We are looking for Stylists who can commit to one of the following:

- Option 1: 20–25 hours per week
- Option 2: 25–29 hours per week Please note: Weekly hours may occasionally flex within your chosen option’s range based on business needs.
