Job description

NOW HIRING: PART-TIME ASSISTANT MANAGER

Experienced retail manager? We're looking for YOU.

We're an established, fast-paced fashion resale store looking for a hands‑on Assistant Manager who can step in and run the store when the Manager is away.

This is not an entry-level position. We need someone who already knows how to lead a retail team, drive sales, solve problems, and keep a store running smoothly.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Leading day-to-day store operations
• Opening/closing and handling operational issues
• Coaching, training, scheduling & holding staff accountable
• Driving sales and monitoring performance
• Customer service & problem resolution
• Merchandising, inventory & product flow
• Hiring/onboarding and employee development
• Social media, promotions & local marketing
• Helping manage resale/buying operations
• Maintaining a fun, energetic, organized store environment

You Should Have

• Previous retail management or assistant management experience
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• Sales & merchandising experience
• Experience with scheduling, training and employee accountability
• Ability to make decisions independently
• Excellent organization and follow-through
• A hands‑on, "see it and fix it" attitude
• Flexibility to work weekends and open/close as needed

Fashion, boutique, resale, consignment or specialty retail experience is a BIG plus.

The Bottom Line

We need someone who can walk through the door and lead. If you're a mature experienced retail professional who enjoys working with people, understands how to drive sales, and is ready to take real responsibility—not just collect a title—we want to hear from you.

Part-time | Competitive pay based on experience | Leadership opportunity

Compensation: $20.00 - $25.00 per hour

Do you know fashion? Do you love finding a great deal? Are you committed to sustainability? If so, come join the Uptown Cheapskate Team! We are looking for friendly, highly motivated people to join our crew of Fashion Consultants.

Uptown Cheapskate is an exciting retail store concept that sells quality clothing brands at affordable prices. Every month, our franchise stores buy and resell thousands of clothing items that have been gently used at a fraction of the prices originally charged. That's why Uptown Cheapskate is such an effective idea that resonates with customers of every income bracket and style persuasion. Our stores feel more like a boutique than a thrift shop, allowing more people to feel comfortable shopping second‑hand.

At Uptown Cheapskate, we have a passion for sustainable fashion. We are dedicated to reducing the impact of the fashion industry on the planet by being green 365 days per year. When you support resale, you're not just being good on your wallet - you're giving back to the environment and contributing to an economy that is sustainable and green.

Since 2015, Uptown Cheapskate has joined forces with Kid to Kid and buildOn across the nation to raise money to build schools in developing countries. With the support of tens of thousands of customers all across the nation, we've far surpassed our initial goal and have raised over $600,000 and funded 18 schools (and counting!). With your help, communities in Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Haiti, Nepal, Malawi, and Nicaragua now have the facilities that they need to educate their children for years to come.

This franchise is independently owned and operated by a franchisee. Your application will go directly to the franchisee, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of this franchisee.
