Towson, United States Warby Parker Full time
Job Status: Full-Time

Warby Parker is on the lookout for a highly skilled Optical Manager to join our growing in-house Optical team. (At other brands, you might see similar roles called Optical Assistant Manager.) In this role, you'll use your professional skill set and product expertise to create incredible experiences for customers. Whether you're helping longtime Warby Parker fans or first-time wearers, you'll leave them excited and confident about our glasses. (Our frames are really special, after all. Take a peek at how they're made.) Acting as both a coach and team player, you'll lead your store's Opticians and jump in to consult customers as needed. Our ideal candidate is a lifelong learner who's able to embrace challenges, foster an encouraging work environment, and help Warby Parker grow. Sound like the job for you? Read on

About Us:

Warby Parker was founded with a mission: to inspire and impact the world with vision, purpose, and style.

We're constantly asking ourselves how we can do more and make a greater impact, and that starts by reimagining everything that a company and industry can be. We want to demonstrate that a business can scale while doing good in the world, without charging a premium for it. And we've learned that it takes creativity, empathy, and innovation to achieve that goal.

Since the day we launched in 2010, we've pioneered ideas, designed products, and developed technologies that help people see. We offer everything you need for happier eyes at a price that leaves you with money in your pocket, from designer-quality glasses and contacts to eye exams and vision tests, and you can meet us online, at our stores, or even in your home. Wherever and whenever you need it, we're there to make exceptional vision care simple and accessible. (Delightful, too.)

Ultimately, we believe in vision for all, which is why for every pair of glasses or sunglasses we sell, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need through our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program.
