THIS IS AN ORIGINAL STORY
It’s a story of passion and of creativity. It’s a story of timeless design and of global
collaboration. It’s a story of our product and of our people. But most importantly, it’s
an unfinished story. That’s where you come in.
At Fossil, we do a lot of things. We create watches, jewelry, leather goods and apparel
that represent our own passion. We test boundaries regularly, and we use words like
“relentless” and “authentic” daily. We understand that our products are only as strong
as the stories they tell. So we create with heart, and we sell with soul.
We’re able to do all these things because passion is at our core. In fact, our passion is
what drives everything around here, including our two core businesses: the Fossil
brand and our portfolio of licensed brands.
Founded in 1984, the Fossil brand was the springboard for everything the company has become over the past 30 years.
From our beloved Austin handbag line to the classic Machine watch collection, Fossil
prides itself on its commitment to American vintage inspiration. This commitment has
allowed for a strong retail presence both domestically and internationally, with more
than 500 retail locations and more than 4,000 wholesale locations worldwide. And
we’re only getting bigger.
Alongside the Fossil brand is our licensed portfolio, a collection of proprietary
brands and licensed partnerships that widen our reach within the fashion accessory
landscape and we feature in our Watch Station stores. We work with some of the most
renowned fashion brands in the world, from Karl Lagerfeld to Michael Kors. We know.
We can’t believe it, either.
Simply put, we took something small and we made it big. We then extended our reach
and made that big thing even bigger. Today, we are a fashion accessory brand with a
significant presence in six continents, and it’s all because of our commitment to our
story, our dedication to hard work, and our desire never to stop learning. If you’re
excited about this, keep reading.

Any success Fossil has ever had can be directly attributed to our team members.
We never stop raising our own bar, and we cruise outside the rules of convention
constantly. Novelty is cool, and seeing things from a different angle is what shapes
good companies into great companies. Lucky for us, we employ some of the most
innovative and creative minds in the industry. We have product designers who
can transform ideas effortlessly. We have merchants who know the recipe for sell-
through success by heart. We have stylists who combine products to tell a bigger, more
dynamic story. And we have store managers who bring those stories to life by sharing
a spirit of warmth and style in our own retail locations.
We have a passion for employing people who value out-of-the-box thinking and who
are never content with average. “Good enough,” isn’t in our vocabulary, and we’re
looking for people who speak the same language.
THIS IS THE HOUSE WE BUILT
Our business is built upon two main pillars: products we believe in and retail
partners who agree with us.
Fossil’s inaugural collection consisted of eight watches and one belief, and the belief
was pretty simple: Always tell a story, and stand for it no matter what. Since then, the
inaugural range has evolved into world-renowned flagship brand, four proprietary
brands, ten licensed brands, and thousands (literally thousands) of styles — all of
which tell a story.
Aside from our unfolding product assortment, the way we do business has also
evolved since 1984. But here at Fossil, we still believe that customer satisfaction is
as easy as an honest conversation. Authenticity has played an integral role in our
growth, allowing for us to establish professional relationships with hundreds of
wholesale partners worldwide. And we treat those partners like they’re members of
the Fossil family.
THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE
We know this all sounds great, but for any of it to work, our employees have to be
inspired. In order to make that happen, we want to provide them with the tools they
need to be the best they can be. Because of our commitment to our team, we offer the
following:
UNLOCK YOUR CAREERMaintaining Fossil’s success starts with looking out for yours. We believe in a rich career
development that pinpoints your interests, enhances your strengths, and builds upon your
opportunities. Turning your passion into your profession is priority number one.
THE VISION
We believe that creativity and hard work are not products of stuffy corporate
environments. That’s why our headquarters feels less like an office building and more
like a mid-century home. We don’t really have a name for our dress code, but the word
“casual” is definitely in there somewhere. Feeling comfortable and inspired at work is an
absolute must, so we do our best to instill a home-away-from-home atmosphere.
THE SCENE
We have this saying around the company: “All For One.” It’s a testament to how much
better we are when we work together. Even though we employ thousands of people from
all over the world, we share the same story, and that’s what’s important. It’s a call to
action we’re eager to answer and a mentality we’re proud to adopt.
THE TEAMWORK
First things first, you can expect first-rate medical, dental, and vision care. But check this
out: Working at Fossil means receiving a discount on our watches and fashion accessories
(and a pretty great discount, at that). It also means getting to know the baristas at our in-
house Starbucks. Or head over to Café 54, our full-service cafeteria, complete with six daily
options sure to satisfy. Don’t forget to check out the Fitness Station, our on-site fitness facility
that includes state-of-the-art equipment, personal trainers, fully serviceable locker rooms,
and loads of classes offered daily. Finally, we offer a 401K package for the savers, tuition
reimbursements for the overachievers, and flexible spending accounts for the just-in-casers.
We’re a global company with employees who speak hundreds of different languages, but giving
back is one language we share. Our passion for positive, sustainable global give back has led
to the creation of the Fossil Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) that will allow us to connect,
collaborate, and serve with a wide range of innovative organizations around the world.
THE GIVE BACK
Our relentless passion has allowed for stable and continued growth for nearly three
decades. Our portfolio of licensed brands continues to get bigger, and as you read this
sentence, our global reach is expanding. Furthering our business is the most organic (and
most fun) way to share our story with the world.
THE GROWTH
THE REWARDS
At Fossil, we believe that what we do isn’t nearly as important as why we do it. That
belief is the source of inspiration we feel when we walk through the doors, the desire
to do the best work possible with world-class colleagues, and the hunger to make the
best better.
We also believe that in order to achieve big things, we have to work together. That’s
why All For One has become such an important part of our everyday language, and
we have almost every ingredient necessary to succeed. We have business practices
that work. We have a team that is relentless. We have tools and resources that
strengthen. And we have a story that inspires. The only thing we don’t have is you.
Let’s change that, because your story needs to be a part of ours.
THIS IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS
