Full-Time Sales Associate

Salty Babe – Newport, RI

(with occasional shifts at Driftwood Surf Market)

The Salty Babe is looking for a full-time, year-round Sales Associate to join our Newport team as we head into our next chapter of growth. This role is ideal for someone who is energetic, grounded, and excited to be part of a creative, community-driven retail brand — not just for a season, but long term.

This is a hands-on position with real responsibility, room to grow, and the opportunity to make the role your own over time.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver a warm, engaging, and memorable customer experience
• Become knowledgeable about our products, brand story, and community
• Support daily store operations including opening/closing procedures
• Assist with inventory management, receiving, restocking, and organization
• Maintain visual standards and overall care of the shop
• Communicate clearly and professionally with team members and leadership
• Be flexible and occasionally pick up shifts at Driftwood Surf Market when needed
• Help create a positive, supportive, and reliable team environment

Who We’re Looking For

This role is about presence, trust, and consistency. We’re looking for someone who:

• Is energetic, kind, and genuinely enjoys connecting with people
• Takes pride in their work and treats the shop like it’s their own
• Is honest, dependable, and communicates clearly
• Can stay organized and calm in a fast-paced retail environment
• Is flexible and willing to support multiple locations when needed
• Wants a stable, year-round position and sees value in growing with a brand
• Is excited to dive into Salty Babe and help it grow into its next chapter

Retail experience is helpful, but mindset and reliability matter more than a resume.

Growth & Opportunity

This is a year-round role with the potential to grow into a leadership or management position for the right person. We are not in a rush — we want to take the time to find someone who truly fits our team and is excited to build something long term.
