## Senior Sales Manager — Yali Shop

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

### About Yali
/n
/n
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.
/n
/n
### The work
/n
/n
- Own the shop's numbers: daily targets, monthly closes, conversion, sell-through.
/n
- Build the client book. Yali sells by relationship. There are no season-end sales to lean on.
/n
- Lead two sales associates: rosters, standards, training on the floor.
/n
- Hold the floor to the label's standard — steaming, folding, light, the way the cloth is handed over.
/n
- Work the Centre's calendar. Exhibition openings and talks bring the room to the shop; the shop is ready for it.
/n
- Run the operations: point of sale, stock counts, reconciliation, dispatch.
/n
- Report what the floor knows — what sold, what stalled, what clients asked for that does not yet exist. This goes straight to design.
/n
/n
### Who this is for
/n
/n
- Six to ten years in premium or luxury retail — fashion,
lifestyle, or fine hospitality — with at least two running a floor or a team.
/n
- Fluent with numbers. Targets are stated, tracked, and met without theatre.
/n
- 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.
/n
- Sells without urgency. The close is the fact, not the deadline.
/n
- Fluent English. Kannada and Hindi are assets on this floor.
/n
/n
### Terms
/n
/n
₹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

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

### About Yali
/n
/n
Yali makes up-to-date 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.
/n
/n
### The work
/n
/n
- The floor: receive clients, listen first, show second.
/n
- Learn the eight core pieces until each can be explained without notes — fibre, region, construction, and what the cloth does on a body.
/n
- Keep the client book current: sizes, preferences, follow-ups that arrive when promised.
/n
- Care for the stock: steaming, folding, counts, the fitting room, the till.
/n
- Work the Centre's openings and talks. The audience walks in already curious.
/n
/n
### Who this is for
/n
/n
- One to four years on a premium retail floor — or none. Disposition outweighs the CV; the training is provided.
/n
- Curious by default. The job is learning cloth and handing the learning on, plainly.
/n
- Warm, unhurried, exact.
/n
- Fluent English. Kannada and Hindi are assets on this floor.
/n
/n
### Terms
/n
/n
₹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].
