Part-Time Sales Assistant | Leeds Store Opening
Join the Founding Team at Y2K Vintage Leeds
Y2K Vintage is entering an exciting new chapter as we open our very first stores outside of London, and we’re looking for passionate, customer-focused Part-Time Sales Assistants to become part of our founding Leeds team.
Our Leeds store is a particularly exciting milestone for us as it marks the launch of our first ever unisex Y2K Vintage concept — bringing together the best of 90s and 2000s fashion across womenswear and menswear in a brand new space.
This is a unique opportunity to help launch our newest store from day one, shape the customer experience, build a community around the brand, and play a key role as we continue to grow.
If you have a love for vintage fashion, enjoy connecting with people, and thrive in a fast-paced retail environment, we'd love to hear from you.
You will be responsible for:
Customer Experience
Deliver exceptional customer service by creating a welcoming, energetic and memorable in-store experience. Build genuine relationships with customers, offer styling advice, and confidently help shoppers discover pieces that feel right for them.
Sales Performance
Support the team in achieving daily and weekly sales targets through excellent customer engagement, strong product knowledge and proactive selling. Help create an exciting shop floor atmosphere that encourages customer loyalty and repeat visits.
Visual Merchandising
Maintain the presentation of the store by replenishing stock, keeping displays fresh and visually inspiring, and ensuring the shop floor reflects the Y2K Vintage brand. Support merchandising updates based on stock levels, trends and customer demand.
Stock & Inventory
Assist with deliveries, stock organisation, replenishment and maintaining a clean and organised back-of-house area to ensure the store runs smoothly.
Brand & Community

Store Operations
Support the day-to-day running of the store by assisting with opening and closing procedures, operating the till accurately, maintaining store standards and ensuring the shop floor remains clean, organised and welcoming throughout the day.
