In addition, a Junior Authentication Specialist must keep up with industry trends, releases, and collaborations with the world's best retailers, from streetwear to high fashion.

  • Continuously research and learn about new models and brands of sneakers
  • Manage and keep up to date with the authentication process through training and self-directed learning
  • Other duties as assigned

  • Passion for sneakers and streetwear, technology and helping others succeed
  • Knowledge of sneakers and apparel across all brands, including originals and re-releases
  • Ability to recognize current trends within the industry
  • Highly organized with demonstrated attention to detail
  • A quick learner, a self-starter, able to work autonomously, and you're willing (and able) to handle the pressures of an increasing level of responsibility
  • Must be able to lift and move boxes (up to 35 pounds)
  • Must be available and willing to work extended hours as occasionally needed (during crunch times!) per day or per week, including weekends and holidays, to meet business needs
