Oakland, California, United States
Hybrid
This role is based in our Oakland, CA office. It's an entry-level hourly position.
About the Role
The Styling & Sample Assistant supports the Associate Creative Director & Team on photoshoots, campaigns, and content across e-commerce, social, and brand marketing — while also owning day-to-day sample logistics. This is a hybrid role: half creative execution, half operational backbone. You'll prep looks one hour and reconcile a sample tracker the next. If you thrive on both on set and spreadsheets, this is your role.
Styling & Shoot Support
Manage full sample lifecycle: intake, check-in/check-out, tracking, and return across design, buying, and marketing teams
Organize and maintain the physical sample library/closet by category, season, and size run
Flag missing, damaged, or overdue samples and follow up with Buying Team
Support end-of-season sample archiving, donation, or sell-off processes with Live Sales Team
Cross-Functional Support
2 years of experience as an assistant stylist, styling intern, or sample coordinator (fashion retail, e-commerce, or brand marketing environment preferred)
Strong knowledge of alternative/streetwear/subculture fashion — you should already have thoughts and knowledge about the DK customer
Highly organized with strong attention to detail; comfortable owning a tracking system with zero samples going missing on your watch
Able to lift/carry garment racks and boxes, and stand for extended periods during shoot days
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment with shifting priorities
Strong communication skills — you'll be chasing samples across multiple departments
Proficiency in Google Sheets/Excel for tracking; Adobe or Canva a plus for look boards
Flexible schedule availability for occasional early/late shoot days
A personal styling portfolio or content you've contributed to
