Job Description

Our client, an eyewear brand known for beautifully designed frames and a fast-growing presence, is seeking a Licensed Optician for its Manhattan retail team. This is a client-facing, sales-floor role - you'll guide customers from prescription to the perfect frame and help build the brand's long-term U.S. presence.

Responsibilities

• Create a warm, welcoming in-store experience and help customers find frames that suit their look and lifestyle
• Review prescriptions and suggest the right lenses, coatings, and upgrades for each client's needs
• Bring a stylist's eye to frame selection and turn first-time shoppers into loyal, returning customers
• Handle fittings, adjustments, and small repairs, troubleshooting any issues along the way
• Check every finished pair for quality and process lens orders carefully, following all NY State optical guidelines
• Share optical know-how with the store team and pitch in on day-to-day operations and inventory

Qualifications

• Current New York State Optician license and diploma (required)
• Recent graduates and early-career opticians looking to grow are welcome; retail or sales experience is a big plus

Required Skills

• Natural sales mindset and client-first approach; this role is primarily on the sales floor rather than in the lab
• Solid lens knowledge
• Energetic, polished, and on-brand, comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• Full-time availability including Saturdays and Sundays (weekends off can be rotated occasionally)

Compensation & Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and prescription coverage (begins after 3 months)
• 20 days PTO (15 vacation, 5 sick)
• Employee discount on the brand's products
