You love being in a beautiful space and contributing to its energy and experience.
You're based in NYC and available for a full-time, in-person role.
Responsibilities:
Representing Silence Please in the showroom: welcoming guests, demoing products, sharing our story
Selling and educating on our speaker systems and audio gear
Managing email outreach to architects, designers, and potential collaborators
Assisting with coordination of design-forward events, installations, and special activations
Maintaining the space and overall experience—curation, cleanliness, and energy flow

Occasional evenings for events
Compensation:
Competitive salary based on experience
