Job description

Assistant Store Manager

Help us build Salem’s new favorite modern resale store. Uptown Cheapskate is a fast-growing national resale brand changing the way people buy and sell fashion.

At Uptown Cheapskate Salem, customers will shop a constantly changing mix of like-new and gently used pieces from brands like Lululemon, Free People, Alo, Vuori, Zara, Nike, and designer labels, all at up to 80% off regular retail prices. A huge part of our business is buying great clothes directly from people in our community.

We’re hiring an experienced retail leader to join our founding management team. This is a hands-on role for someone who can run a shift, coach employees, solve problems, and step into any part of the store when needed.

You’ll learn our systems and business quickly, so you can help hire, train, and develop a new team while establishing our culture, standards, and customer experience from day one.

• Lead shifts and create an upbeat, accountable team environment
• Coach Sales Associates, Buyers, and more
• Assign priorities and adjust coverage as customer and seller traffic changes
• Maintain strong customer service, store presentation, and product flow
• Resolve concerns and oversee register, cash, opening, and closing procedures
• Support hiring, training, scheduling, merchandising, inventory, and sales performance
• Work with store leadership to solve problems and improve and grow the business

What We’re Looking For

• Strong retail or customer service experience
• Previous leadership, supervisory, or management experience
• Confidence leading employees and holding people accountable
• Sound judgment, clear communication, and strong problem‑solving skills
• A positive leadership style with high standards
• Comfort leading from the floor in a fast-moving retail environment
• Reliability and strong availability, including evenings and weekends
• An interest in fashion and resale is helpful, but leadership ability matters most

Pay, Perks, and Growth

• Starting at $22 per hour, with higher rates based on experience and demonstrated ability
• Raises as your impact and responsibilities grow
• Opportunities to advance into Store Manager and possible future multi-store leadership roles
• Bonus opportunities
• 25% employee discount (for eligible purchases, because working around great clothes should have its perks)
• Hands‑on training across resale, buying, merchandising, and store operations

Training and onboarding begin soon. We plan to start buying from customers in late September, with our Grand Opening planned for November.
