This Role is Tailor-Made for You Because:

The Director, Client Engagement is responsible for defining and executing Tory Burch's client engagement strategy across North America stores, driving the growth of our Very Important Client (VIC) business through elevated clienteling, luxury selling, personal shopping, and best-in-class experiential brand experiences.

Serving as the strategic bridge between Retail, Marketing, CRM, Merchandising, Digital, and Operations, this leader will develop and activate holistic, client-centric go-to-market strategies that strengthen client acquisition, retention, and lifetime value while building a culture of exceptional service and relationship-driven selling across the organization.

This role acts as the voice of the client, ensuring that every engagement strategy, event, launch, and customer touchpoint drives meaningful connection, measurable commercial impact, and long-term brand loyalty.

A Day In The Life:

The typical day is... atypical. You might be developing the North America client engagement strategy, partnering with store leadership to strengthen VIC growth, building personal shopping and stylist programs, or designing elevated client experiences that deepen loyalty and drive measurable commercial impact. You may be translating customer insights into targeted engagement plans, aligning cross-functional partners around a product launch or seasonal campaign, or evaluating performance across clienteling-influenced sales, retention, event ROI, and customer satisfaction.

The consistent thread is that you will serve as the voice of the client, ensuring every engagement strategy, event, launch, and customer touchpoint creates meaningful connection, supports long-term brand loyalty, and drives business growth. You will work with an amazing team of professionals who share your passion for excellence, innovation, and delivering a transformational client experience.

• Design and lead elevated client experiences, events, and community-building initiatives that strengthen emotional connection to the Tory Burch brand and drive client acquisition and retention.
• Partner with Marketing, Retail, Visual Merchandising, and Merchandising teams to deliver impactful client activations that support brand storytelling and commercial objectives.
• Develop and execute a strategic calendar of local, regional, and national client activations, including trunk shows, designer presentations, and exclusive client events that drive engagement, support Ready-to-Wear and Runway growth, and strengthen client acquisition and retention.
