Retail Brand Representative / Store Placement Consultant

Mount of Angels is a Los Angeles–based youth arts foundation that creates artist-designed merchandise to fund free creative programs for kids. Our collections include youth-designed apparel, accessories, and lifestyle items that have been featured at major community art events across LA. We’re now ready to bring these products into select retail spaces — boutiques, museum shops, hotel stores, and other creative retail settings.

About the Role:

We’re seeking a hands-on retail rep or consultant with real industry experience — someone who knows the Southern California retail landscape, understands how to position unique creative brands, and can make things happen through genuine connections. This is not a cold-call or entry-level sales role. We need someone who already has store and buyer relationships and can open doors for a small but high-quality cause-driven brand.

Responsibilities:

Identify and connect with local retail partners (boutiques, museum shops, lifestyle stores, hotels, etc.)

Make introductions, calls, and follow-ups on behalf of the foundation

Arrange meetings or product viewings with buyers and decision-makers

Provide feedback on pricing, packaging, and merchandising strategy

Help us secure small-scale placements and pop-up opportunities

Maintain clear communication and progress updates (1–2 days a week commitment)

Requirements:

Proven retail, showroom, or wholesale experience (ideally in apparel, accessories, or design goods)

Strong existing contacts within the Los Angeles or SoCal retail scene

Professional communication and reliability — we’re looking for a true connector, not just a seller

Passion for creative work and social impact (we’re a nonprofit foundation)

Schedule & Pay:

Part-time, flexible (approx. 5–10 hrs/week)

Hybrid: remote + local meetings/store visits

Compensation:

Hourly or small retainer + performance bonus per placement (negotiable based on experience)

How to Apply:

Please reply with your background, relevant retail experience, and a few examples of stores or brands you’ve worked with or placed products in.
