Curator – Visual Merchandising, Indianapolis, IN
We believe that service starts inside the organization and embrace a concept called “People First.” At RH, you will create results with an inspiring team in a creative environment with opportunities for career advancement.
We are curators, not merchandisers. We curate people, products, ideas and inspiration that are brought to life within the RH Gallery. RH curators understand the art and science of lifestyle, environment and taste to create inspirational spaces.
The Curating Associate plays an integral role in providing a luxury environment within the RH Gallery. They will work in collaboration and partnership with leadership and home office partners to ensure that the Gallery environment not only meets standards but also exceeds. They will work with team members to educate and develop curating skills. They are creative with a refined attention to detail, a discerning eye for luxury and a strong sense of personal style.
We believe RH is one of the most innovative and fastest growing luxury brands in the home furnishings marketplace. We believe our brand stands alone and is redefining this highly fragmented and growing market. Our ability to innovate, curate and integrate products, categories, services, hospitality and businesses with a completely authentic and distinctive point of view, is a powerful platform for long-term growth. We evolved our brand to become RH, positioning our Company to curate a lifestyle beyond the four walls of the home. Our unique product development, go-to-market and supply chain capabilities, together with our significant scale, enable us to offer a compelling combination of design, quality and value that we believe is unparalleled in the marketplace.
