About Us
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 and Fortune and are backed by top investors who share our vision of building the world's next great consumer brand.
Our Values
- 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.
About 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.

- Use our platform to style clients each week
- Curate well-coordinated boxes of styles to perfectly fit our clients

- 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.
