LSKD is an Australian-owned and operated brand founded in Logan, Brisbane that prides itself in producing high-quality functional sportswear with a street aesthetic. We want to bring our mission and values to life in everything that we do - and want our team to be inspired by this mission too.

The Role

We are looking for a Head Coach (Retail Store Manager) who is ready to lead a passionate team at our store opening in 2026 in Werribee! We're recruiting now for a commencement ideally December or first thing come January!

So, what's involved in the lead up to opening a new store?

Heating up the Community - Localise and create your ultimate opening day activations/giveaways by connecting with brand partners. Getting out and sweating with our local fitness partners and community. Building awareness about the store opening and connecting with our LSKD community
