Senior Private Client Advisor — Vintage Luxury Fashion
Location: Los Angeles, remote with a local presence
Compensation: Competitive base + uncapped commission. Health, dental, and vision.
Intended for: Senior Private Client professionals with an existing, aligned client book.
About Us
We are a Los Angeles–based archival and vintage luxury fashion dealer. We operate less like a traditional resale store and more like a hybrid of a private archive, editorial platform, and relationship-driven luxury sales agency. Our clientele is sophisticated and taste-driven. We are expanding our Private Client function to meet sustained demand.
About the Role

The ideal hire has built their career inside the Private Client or VIP Relations function of a luxury multi-brand e-commerce retailer - an environment where you've been accountable for your own number, known your clients' closets intimately, and routinely closed five-figure transactions. You're ready to trade scale for depth: a focused book, direct ownership, and an environment where your judgment and relationships genuinely move the business.

- Represent our philosophy and standards consistently as a brand ambassador
- Build a referral pipeline through stylists, publicists, private wardrobe managers, and luxury concierge networks
- Partner with leadership on market-building strategy, identifying new geographies, client segments, and cultural touchpoints worth cultivating
- Surface sourcing opportunities from your network, collectors, estates, and private sellers whose archives align with our direction

- An active, engaged client book aligned with archival, designer-driven taste. clients who collect Tom Ford–era Gucci, Galliano-era Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, and pieces of similar weight (not just a gown-and-gala book)
- Demonstrated history of closing individual transactions at $10,000+ through relationship-based selling
- Comfortable with marketing, operations, and finance to deliver a bespoke client experience
- Comfort operating independently and resourcefully
- Exceptional taste, emotional intelligence, discretion, and written craft
- Collaborative, resourceful, and willing to wear many hats; the kind of person who takes ownership of the outcome, not just the task

- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Real autonomy over your book and your day
- Individual impact is visible and compounds
