## Senior Sales Manager — Yali Shop

The Registry — Centre for Design, Bengaluru · Full-time, on the floor · Reports to the Founder

### About Yali

Yali makes modern Indian clothes built on Indian textile intelligence. Eight pieces form the core — among them a Wrap Coat numbered by edition, a Trouser cut high and straight, and a Saree that is woven, never printed. The label does not run sales.

Unsold work is re-styled, re-storied, or archived. The shop sits inside The Registry — Centre for Design, a public space in Bengaluru with a year-round programme of exhibitions and talks.

### The work

- Own the shop's numbers: daily targets, monthly closes, conversion, sell-through.

- Build the client book. Yali sells by relationship. There are no season-end sales to lean on.

- Lead two sales associates: rosters, standards, training on the floor.

- Hold the floor to the label's standard — steaming, folding, light, the way the cloth is handed over.

- Work the Centre's calendar. Exhibition openings and talks bring the room to the shop; the shop is ready for it.

- Run the operations: point of sale, stock counts, reconciliation, dispatch.

- Report what the floor knows — what sold, what stalled, what clients asked for that does not yet exist. This goes straight to design.

### Who this is for

- Six to ten years in premium or luxury retail — fashion, lifestyle, or fine hospitality — with at least two running a floor or a team.

- Fluent with numbers. Targets are stated, tracked, and met without theatre.

- Able to learn cloth: fibre, region, count, loom width, why a fine count creases. Textile training is part of the job; retaining it is too.

- Sells without urgency. The close is the fact, not the deadline.

- Fluent English. Kannada and Hindi are assets on this floor.

### Terms

₹10–14 lakh per annum fixed, plus a performance incentive. Six-day retail week with a weekday off; weekends and festivals are working days. Start date: (to confirm).

### To apply

Write to [email protected] or 9845516431 with a CV and one paragraph on the best thing you ever sold — what it was, and how the sale actually happened.

## Sales Associate — Yali Shop (two positions)

The Registry — Centre for Design, Bengaluru · Full-time, on the floor · Reports to the Senior Sales Manager

### About Yali

Yali makes modern Indian clothes built on Indian textile intelligence. Eight pieces form the core — among them a Wrap Coat numbered by edition, a Trouser cut high and straight, and a Saree that is woven, never printed. The label does not run sales.

Unsold work is re-styled, re-storied, or archived. The shop sits inside The Registry — Centre for Design, a public space in Bengaluru with a year-round programme of exhibitions and talks.

### The work

- The floor: receive clients, listen first, show second.

- Learn the eight core pieces until each can be explained without notes — fibre, region, construction, and what the cloth does on a body.

- Keep the client book current: sizes, preferences, follow-ups that arrive when promised.

- Care for the stock: steaming, folding, counts, the fitting room, the till.

- Work the Centre's openings and talks. The audience walks in already curious.

### Who this is for

- One to four years on a premium retail floor — or none. Disposition outweighs the CV; the training is provided.

- Curious by default. The job is learning cloth and handing the learning on, plainly.

- Warm, unhurried, exact.

- Fluent English. Kannada and Hindi are assets on this floor.

### Terms

₹3.6–5.4 lakh per annum fixed, calibrated to experience, plus a floor incentive. Six-day retail week with a weekday off; weekends and festivals are working days. Start date: (to confirm).
