• Participate in management meetings and training sessions as needed.

Qualifications

• Minimum 3–5 years of multi‑unit management experience (retail or beauty industry preferred).
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem‑solving skills.
• Proven ability to analyze business data and make effective decisions.
• Exceptional organizational and time‑management skills; able to prioritize multiple priorities.
