Full-time – Based in NYC
Start date: September 2025

Who We Are
Boring? Expensive? Dull? That’s what eyewear used to be.
Jimmy Fairly was born in Paris in 2010 with a mission to flip the industry on its head—offering high-quality, on-trend eyewear at fair prices, with a strong social and environmental conscience.
Now with over 160 stores across Europe and the UK, and 30 more opening every year, we’re ready for our next big step: our first U.S. store in New York City. We design and launch fresh collections every six weeks and are obsessed with creating unforgettable in-store experiences. Our goal? To make every customer say “wow.”
We believe that shopping for glasses should feel as fun and stylish as finding your next favorite outfit—and our team brings that to life every day. If you love fashion, good vibes, and helping people feel their best, you’re in the right place.
