Part Time Fashion Consultant, The Deal – Al Wah – Chalhoub Group

Chalhoub Group is hiring a Part-Time Fashion Consultant for The Deal store in Al Wahda, Abu Dhabi. Chalhoub Group has been a partner and creator of luxury and lifestyle experiences in the Middle East for over seven decades, spanning fashion, beauty, jewellery, watches, eyewear and lifestyle categories. Alongside its luxury boutiques, the group runs multi-brand retail formats that bring branded fashion to a broader audience, and The Deal is one of them.

As a part-time consultant, you will work on the shop floor during agreed shifts, typically covering the busiest trading periods such as evenings, weekends and sale seasons. The job is about helping customers find what they are looking for across a wide range of brands, sizes and styles, offering honest advice on fit and styling, and making sure every customer leaves with a good impression. In a value-focused multi-brand store, product moves quickly and assortments change often, so staying on top of what is in stock is part of the skill.

You will also help keep the store organised and appealing: replenishing the floor, keeping sizes in order, maintaining fitting rooms, supporting visual merchandising and following stock handling and loss prevention procedures. Processing sales accurately and helping the team reach store targets are part of the job, as is working smoothly with full-time colleagues and supervisors.

This role suits someone who enjoys fashion and people, wants flexible hours, and can stay friendly and efficient when the store gets busy. It can work well for students, people returning to work or anyone looking to start a career in retail with a well-known group.

In a busy multi-brand fashion store, part-time staff make the difference during peak trading. Evenings, weekends and sale periods often generate a large share of weekly sales, and having well-trained consultants on the floor at those times keeps queues short, fitting rooms organised and customers served. That translates directly into higher conversion, better average spend and fewer lost sales. Part-time consultants also give store managers flexibility to match staffing to footfall, which helps control labour costs without compromising service. Keeping sizes organised and the floor replenished matters in a value-focused format, where customers expect to find what they want quickly; good housekeeping reduces lost sales and improves stock accuracy. Following loss prevention procedures protects margins in a format where every percentage point counts. For Chalhoub Group, consistent service across its formats protects its broader reputation, and a positive experience in a store like The Deal can build loyalty that carries across the group's brands.

A part-time role at Chalhoub Group is a practical way to start or build a retail career with one of the region's best-known retail groups. You will learn the fundamentals of fashion retail: customer service, product knowledge, merchandising, stock handling and working to targets. These skills are valued across the industry and give you a solid base whether you stay in retail or move into another customer-facing field. Chalhoub Group runs a large portfolio of brands and formats, from luxury boutiques to multi-brand stores, so strong performers may find opportunities to move into full-time roles, other brands or specialised areas over time. Part-time work also offers flexibility, making it a good fit for students, parents or anyone balancing other commitments, while still giving you real experience and references from a respected employer. You will develop confidence dealing with a wide variety of customers, teamwork in a fast-paced environment, and the ability to stay calm and organised during busy periods. Many senior retail professionals began their careers on the shop floor in roles just like this. If you enjoy fashion and people, this is a straightforward way to get your foot in the door and start building toward roles such as senior consultant, supervisor or eventually store management.
