The Role: Beyond the Transaction

At Khakis of Carmel, we don’t just sell menswear; we curate lifestyles. Anchoring the coastal enclave of Carmel-by-the-Sea with over 10,000 square feet of world-class luxury, we are an industry leader known for a modern, bold approach to classic style. We are looking for a high-energy professional who understands that true "full service" means anticipating a client’s needs before they even voice them.

We are looking for an individual who grasps the art of the "guest experience"—or if you are simply deeply passionate about the technical craft of menswear and the lifestyle of the modern gentleman. You don’t just "work retail"; you are excited to create and manage a portfolio of clients who trust your eye and your expertise.

If you have a background in hospitality, fine dining, luxury automotive, or specialty sales, and you possess an innate "hospitality gene," we want to talk to you. You don’t need a background in folding shirts—you need a passion for excellence and the drive to manage a book of business that exceeds $100k in earning potential.

What You’ll Do

• Curate the Experience: Provide a "white glove" level of service that turns a first-time visitor into a lifelong client.
• Build Your Business: Act as an entrepreneur within our walls. You will manage client relationships, understand their travel and social calendars, and proactively reach out with personalized recommendations.
• Master the Product: Become an expert on our premier selection of global brands and world-class private labels.
• Collaborate: Work within a high-performance team where "team player" isn't a buzzword—it’s how we ensure the store remains a world-class destination.
• Operational Excellence: Maintain the aesthetic integrity of the shop and execute store procedures with precision and tech-savviness.

Who You Are

• The Experience Expert: You have 3+ years of experience in a high-touch, specialty service B2C environment (consumer focused Hospitality, Sales, Concierge, etc.).
• Culturally Fluent: You understand the luxury lifestyle. You can converse easily with global travelers and local clients alike.
• The Closer: You are motivated by results. You thrive in a "high-ceiling" environment where your income reflects your effort.
• The Professional: You are punctual, tech-proficient (iPad/POS), and possess the communication skills required to represent a premier brand.
• Flexible: You understand that luxury doesn't sleep on the weekends; you’re available when our clients need you most.

The Rewards

• Top-Tier Compensation: Base salary plus a generous commission structure with potential to earn over $100k annually.
• Full Security: 100% Company-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision.
• Future Planning: 401(k) savings plan with a Company Match.
• Work-Life Balance: Paid vacation to recharge.
• Perks: Relocation assistance (for the right candidate) and exceptional clothing discounts to ensure you look as sharp as the advice you give.

Do you want to become a surrogate? We are now offering a sign on bonus to all qualified and matched surrogates that sign contracts. The first step is to fill out our surrogate application. A fertility specialist will contact you to continue the process. For intended parents interested in surrogacy to start or grow their families please contact us today. The surrogacy process is complex, but we will be with you every step of the way. Call today to get started.

Women who may have the ability to produce eggs but are unable to use their uterus or do not have a uterus, may consider a surrogate. A donated egg may also be used with the surrogate in the event a woman cannot produce her own eggs or her uterus is not intact or insufficient to carry a pregnancy. In either case, the husband's sperm, if viable, may be used.

Using an egg donor unrelated to the surrogate carrier eliminates any biological tie. The egg of the surrogate is never used as part of the assisted reproduction process, so that a surrogate is never in the position of delivering her own biological child.

The basic requirements of a woman to serve as a surrogate are:

• Emotionally stable
• Responsible
• In good physical health
• Non-smoker
• Has had at least one successful pregnancy
• Is capable of carrying a child to full term

A woman is not required to fall within a particular age range to serve as a surrogate, but most intended parents prefer a surrogate under the age of 40. For more information on surrogacy please see the documents on the left side of this page.

In Texas, there is a judicial process for validating the Gestational Contract (the contract between the intended parents and the surrogate). Included within the various requirements for having a Gestational Contract validated by a Texas court is that the intended parents must be married and the surrogate must have previously carried a child to term. Additionally, there are residency requirements that apply to either the surrogate or the intended parents, but not both.

Compensation for a surrogate services generally starts in the range of $35,000 - $40,000, for base compensation with over all fees up to 70k, in many cases. The amount of compensation is dependent upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the surrogate carries twins, what procedures a surrogate is required to undergo and whether the delivery is vaginally or by cesarean section.
