Nashville, Bonjour! A Holiday Sneak Peek of Clare V.

Full-Time Seasonal Store Manager — Nashville Holiday Pop-Up

November 2026–Early January 2027 | Potential for a Future Permanent Role

Nashville, we’ve felt the love—and we’re coming your way! Before our permanent store opens in spring 2027, we’re bringing a little Los Angeles style and Parisian charm to Music City with a seasonal holiday pop-up.

We’re looking for an experienced, enthusiastic Store Manager to lead our holiday debut, build a welcoming team, and connect with Nashville’s community of Clare V. lovers. If you love thoughtful service, great style, and creating a shop people want to return to, we’d love to meet you.

This is a full-time seasonal position running from November 2026 through early January 2027. Following the holiday season, the store will close for renovations, with a permanent opening anticipated in April 2027. There may be an opportunity to return in a permanent role when the store reopens, subject to business needs, performance, and mutual interest. Employment during the renovation period and a future permanent position are not guaranteed. Candidates interested in either the seasonal assignment alone or a potential longer-term opportunity are welcome to apply.

As the brand grew, she kept production rooted in Los Angeles while building partnerships with local and global organizations making a positive difference in the world.
