Private Client Director

Watson Style Group
York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 6/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/12/2026

Watson Style Group is a female-founded personal styling firm redefining luxury wardrobe transformation for UHNW women nationwide. We work with clients across the country, with studios in Chicago and New York.


We are hiring a Private Client Director to join our leadership team.


THE ROLE

The Private Client Director is a senior client-facing leadership role for an advisor who has spent years building deep, trusted relationships with UHNW women through luxury retail or a luxury fashion house. You are likely currently a top Personal Client Advisor, Senior Personal Shopper, Personal Stylist, or Client Relations Manager at a retailer such as Bergdorf Goodman, Moda Operandi, Saks Fifth Avenue, or Neiman Marcus — or at a comparable luxury fashion house such as Prada, Dior, Khaite, or Brunello Cucinelli.


You are a stylist first, but more than a stylist — you are a trusted advisor, a confident operator, and a relationship leader. You bring taste, trust, and tenacity. You deliver results.


You know what it feels like to want to do more for your clients than your current platform structurally allows. That is the gap Watson exists to close.


WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Deliver exceptional personal styling experiences with deep fluency in luxury fashion, fit, fabrication, and lifestyle-specific solutions — across in-person sessions, virtual touchpoints, and ongoing wardrobe relationships.

• Manage a portfolio of UHNW client relationships, with precision, warmth, and discretion.

• Curate every look. Final selection. Foundation outfit construction. Lookbook quality control.

• Lead and delegate in partnership with Assistant Stylists.

• Solve complex client and business challenges with creativity, grace, and a proactive mindset.


WHAT SETS WATSON APART

• The platform multiplies you. Operational work, pulling looks, assembling lookbooks, tracking orders — moves to your styling assistant and the platform. Your output per client is dramatically higher.

• You access 20 retailers, not one. Watson shops across the full luxury landscape, including exclusive trade partnerships your clients cannot access independently.

• Watson delivers the experience your clients already wish they had. Custom and limited-run brand coordination, tailoring and cobbling logistics, closet digitization, custom digital lookbook, travel capsule packing, returns — all branded Watson, all part of the relationship you own.

• You are compensated like a senior advisor. Tiered residual commission that compounds, not the short windows standard in retail.


THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Five or more years in luxury personal styling or high-touch client advisory, preferably as a top performer at one of the retailers or houses noted above

• Proven success building and maintaining long-term relationships with UHNW women

• Deep luxury fluency — fashion, fit, fabrication, and the rhythms of the UHNW lifestyle

• Strong taste, exceptional judgment, and a genuine love for the craft

• Discretion, professionalism, and poise at every touchpoint

• A natural ability to connect, communicate, and convert


COMPENSATION

• $130,000 base salary

• $265K OTE at full carry — uncapped

• Tiered residual commission on collected program revenue. The book you grow continues to pay you for the life of the relationship.

Discretion guaranteed. We will not contact your current employer at any stage of the process. Conversations are held in confidence until you choose otherwise.
