Key Holder

Founded in 1997 by Andrew Rosen, Theory revolutionized women’s workwear by developing an innovative stretch fabric that drastically improved a pant’s performance—making it both functional and stylish enough to wear to work and beyond.

Continuing the same foundational principles, Theory—which now includes menswear—is committed to creating purposeful designs with exceptional fit and construction. It defines the ‘new modern’ through its concept of the urban uniform: the belief that cool, expertly tailored pieces made from the best materials have the power to change the way we feel, improve the way we work, and inspire the way we live.

In 2004, Fast Retailing acquired Theory and spurred the brand’s global expansion. Today, Theory is a leader in Fast Retailing’s dossier and operates 221 freestanding stores worldwide. Its collaborative relationships with department and specialty stores and its e-commerce business continue to position Theory as a continually expanding, international, omnichannel phenomenon.

From the product to the people, Theory is a company built on integrity and excellence. We believe that the exceptional store experience and customer service made possible by our dynamic retail teams empower every aspect of our business and its future success.

We look forward to receiving your resume.
