Who We Are
Babylist is the leading platform for expecting and new families — and our showrooms in Beverly Hills and NYC are where that mission comes to life in person. Since opening in 2023, we've welcomed thousands of families to explore gear, build registries, and feel truly supported. The people who work in our showrooms are the face of that experience. If you love creating meaningful moments and want to be part of something that actually matters to the families you serve, this is the team.
Our Ways of Working
This is a fully on-site role at our New York City showroom. Please apply directly through this posting — to protect the guest experience, we ask that you don't call, email, or visit the showroom with hiring inquiries. Thanks for keeping things smooth!
What the Role Is
Our NYC Showroom is where the Babylist brand comes to life in person, and the Shift Lead keeps it running at its best. Reporting to the Showroom Manager, you're a key-holder and floor leader who helps guests build their registry, discover the right baby products, and feel cared for from the moment they walk in. You'll lead by example during your shifts, support and coach the showroom team, and own the day-to-day operational details that keep the space humming. This is a hands-on, on-site role for someone who loves both great guest experience and the operational rhythm of running a retail space.
Weekend Availability is required
Who You Are

- You're a strong problem-solver who can make decisions on the fly, juggling multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment without dropping the ball.
- You're a warm, clear communicator with both teammates and guests, and you build genuine relationships rooted in great service.

- Familiarity with point-of-sale systems and retail operations is a plus, as is knowledge of Babylist registries and products.
How You Will Make An Impact
- Act as a key-holder, owning opening, closing, and security protocols for the showroom
- Lead by example on the floor, delivering exceptional service and helping guests navigate the showroom experience during one of the most meaningful moments in their lives
- Coach and support showroom and pop-up staff on product features, benefits, and safety guidelines, growing into a trusted leader on the team
