Job description

Marine Layer was founded in San Francisco, CA and now has over 50 stores across the USA. We want our stores to feel like an extension of our laidback, Ca lifestyle- comfortable, welcoming and cool. We want our store teams to feel like old friends- chill, funny, and always ready for a good time.

Company Mission

We believe that every day should be easy, so we make stuff you love to wear as much as your old favorite shirt. By building a successful and responsible business, we aim to take care of our employees, our community, and our planet.

Job Description

We’re looking for a passionate leader to take on our local Marine Layer store. As the leader on the ground, you will be responsible for managing the business within your four walls. With the support of your Area + District Managers, you will execute sales strategy, ensure the team is fully staffed and scheduled with top notch talent, check all the boxes on operations and visuals, and be the representative of the ML brand in your local market.

As a growing Company, we are often implementing new processes and launching new initiatives- we are looking for someone excited to partner with HQ + leadership on these changes, as well as being the liaison to your team for these important updates.

Scope

In addition to finding someone who relates to our 7-day weekend vibes, we are looking for a Store Manager who has experience in the following areas:

• Customer + Brand Experience: We want people to walk out of our stores excited about our brand. You want to inspire the team to deliver a customer experience that is genuine and exceeds expectations. Win win.
• People Development: Engage with your employees individually and the team as a whole. Offer consistent and timely feedback to encourage professional growth and maintain a positive working environment.
• Leadership: We want someone who is passionate about keeping a team happy, engaged and challenged. You’re excited to recruit, hire and promote people who are talented and want to make our brand a success.
• Visual Merchandising: From monthly floorsets to daily product replenishment, our product needs to look good and sell well in our stores. It just doesn’t sell itself by sitting on a shelf...which would be cool but let’s be real. It's important for you to have a keen eye for merchandising and visual standards.
• Operations: As a Fleet, we strive for operational excellence. This means executing key tasks such as scheduling, payroll, and delegating day to day projects like fulfillment + zoning. Keeping your store operating smoothly helps your team have a top notch experience.

Qualifications

An Authentic Brand Advocate.

We’re hoping you’ve heard of us and already love us- at the very least, we want to know you can relate to our CA-based laidback lifestyle. This is key- there’s no substitute for a genuine connection.

Success in a Retail Leadership Role.

The size of your previous company and store are not the important thing. If you have great leadership skills and a positive attitude, you can succeed here.

Commitment to the Mission + Values

We all work hard, but manage to have a lot of fun along the way. As a leader on the team, we need you to spread the positive vibes around and set a solid example of not taking yourself too seriously.

• Competitive pay and bonus
• Clothing allowance and generous discount
• Paid time off
• Health, Vision and Dental Insurance available
• 401k with Employer Matching
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Disability + Life Insurance

Guess we’ve made it big:

we heard someone out there is using fake job offers from us for a phishing scam. Wishing them bad vibes, but also wanted to share a few tips on how to stay safe.

• We keep it direct when it comes to recruitment: our hiring communications will always come from a @marinelayer.com account
• Double-check the email address: most hiring messages come from either [e-mail] or [e-mail]
• If someone’s asking you to buy supplies for your first day, it’s not us. (We’d hook you up with that)
• We will never ask for personal information before onboarding. Keep that to yourself.

Just follow these four steps, watch out for sketchy links, and you too can ruin a scammer’s day.
