We are looking for a PR ninja to take our execution on PR initiatives and on event-based customer service (e.g. in-person fittings, trunk shows, other events, etc.) More important than any other factor is a passion for men's fashion and a desire to help our customers look and feel better by shopping at Bonobos. You must be a person with a keen sense of style and an easy ability to help others be more stylish, too.
