PT Sales Associate: Rent The Runway

About the Brand
At Rent the Runway, Our mission is to power women to feel their best every day. We started a rental revolution, and changed the fashion industry.

In 2009, we disrupted the trillion-dollar fashion industry and changed the way women get dressed forever by pioneering the ‘Closet in the Cloud’: a dream closet filled with an infinite selection of designer styles to rent, wear and return (or keep!). Every trend, every color, every print, everything you’ve ever wanted to wear — for a fraction of the cost.

A community that shares more than just clothes.
