Mac & Mia is a children’s retail startup in Chicago.  With goals to rapidly grow our sales team over the next year, our recruiter will be instrumental to our continued success. This person will spearhead our growth efforts through their ability to identify and attract top talent in Chicago, as well as a number of remote cities located across the U.S., generate excitement about the sales opportunity at Mac & Mia and foster cross functional relationships throughout the organization.

What we do

Mac & Mia was founded by Marie Tillman. After the birth of her son, and as a working mom, she was struggling to find beautiful, high-quality kids clothing options without spending a ton of time shopping. Mac & Mia was created as Marie began to discover and curate unique kids’ styles from boutique brands around the world. Today, Mac & Mia saves busy parents time while delivering a fun and convenient shopping experience for families.

Mac & Mia customers take a brief style quiz before requesting a box for their child. They are then paired with a stylist who handpicks 6-8 items for the child. The items are shipped and the customer can keep what they love and send back the rest. Mac & Mia currently serves children from ages newborn to 6 years old.
