Famous Footwear is your place for athletic, fashion and casual shoes for the whole family from hundreds of name brands. Make it famous! To us, famous isn’t about standing out in the crowd. It’s about feeling good where you stand right now.

As a Famous Footwear Sales Associate
, you are passionate about providing the best shoe store experience for every customer. You create a welcoming environment and in-store culture where customers say, “I’ll take it” and are loyal to your store, our brands, and our company. You are a team player, celebrating individual and team successes. You stay informed about trends and share that knowledge with customers, building engaging customer experiences.

Most importantly, you LOVE shoes help every person who enters the store experience a little bit of that Famous Feeling.

• Ace Retail Operations: You’ll ensure daily store tasks (pricing, shipment processing, fulfillment and inventory) are dialed in, keeping the store running like a tightly laced sneaker. Utilizing our company standards as a framework for success, you deliver on keeping the store clean, organized, and all our famous styles easily shoppable.
• Be a Famous Culture Influencer: Champion our Famous culture with pride by embodying the behaviors that power our Customer Connection.
