Can you cut it?
 
We are seeking creative, passionate groomers to follow in the footsteps of Michael Shiels and Kayla Harrison.
 
We are looking for dog groomers who are loyal Christies Direct customers, love our Groom Professional range and are ready to represent us and our brands across the globe!
 
In 2021 we had the wonderful Kayla Harrison as a Christies Direct Brand Ambassador. She joined us on the Christies Direct stand at events, filmed videos with us, chatted to our customers on social media and reviewed new products. We have had an incredible year working with Kayla and she will now join Emily Myatt and Michael Shiels in our Christies Direct Brand Ambassador Hall of Fame. BUT with a new year comes a new opening and we are now on the hunt for our 2022 Brand Ambassadors.
 

Wait -Brand Ambassadors?

Yes, that’s right! While we need someone to work with us as an Elite Brand Ambassador like Kayla and Michael did, we have also created some other Brand Ambassador roles. This means that no matter your area of expertise or experience level there are options for us to work together, to support each other, grow the grooming industry through education, and unite groomers across the globe.

Impress us with your knowledge of products, tools and techniques and the invaluable experience you’ve gained within the grooming industry, and you could seize the chance to be a player in the global grooming industry representing Christies Direct in 2022.

Elite Brand Ambassador

Our Elite Brand Ambassadors will be just that, a squad of one-of-a-kind grooming experts from across the world, who are happy presenting in person, chatting to their following online, competing in the show ring, producing written content, and supporting us in product development. This role involves travel, networking, product review, guest appearances, content creation, product development plus working behind the scenes at ChristiesDirect. This is a 12 month paid position, and we initially hope to select a groomer based in UK or Ireland but welcome applications from those outside of this as we will be expanding this role into other territories.

 

Christies Direct Creator

Are you a digitally savvy, passionate groomer with a good online following? Then we could work with you! This role involves networking, product reviews, content creation, product development plus working behind the scenes at Christies Direct.

 

Chief Product Reviewer

If you are passionate about our brands and products but are newer to grooming or maybe don’t have the time needed for our other Brand Ambassador roles, we have a spot for you! Our Chief Product Reviewers are our sounding board for new products and new ideas. You can help shape the grooming industry of tomorrow!
