Key skills for this role
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 top investors who share our vision of building the world's next great consumer brand.
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.
Startups win by having great people. We're looking for a Founding Recruiter who'll lead all things recruiting. Not someone who just fills positions, but someone who thinks about what kind of team we need, and how to build it.
You'll work directly with the CEO to find the best people to join us across Operations, Styling, Product, Engineering, Marketing, Client Experience, and more.
The best talent people don't just follow a process—they invent it. You'll decide what "good" means, how we find those people, and how we close them.
This is the kind of role where you'll look back years from now and see your fingerprints on the entire company. This is an opportunity to be the architect behind a high-performing, mission-driven team at one of the fastest-growing ecommerce startups.
