What You’ll Do

As a Department Manager, you will own a department and focus on maximizing its sales, inventory, and standards. Department Managers have the power to impact the business daily by managing inventory, moving product in accordance with customer demand, reviewing and managing planograms and period layouts, and by being commercial (knowing what is trending so you order merchandise daily to drive sales). You will keep an eye on the local market to maintain a competitive advantage in price, product, and shopping experience. You will use data to gain full knowledge of your department’s performance to drive sales and meet targets and manage stock file accuracy for your department. As the leader of your department, you will hire, train, coach and motivate a team of Sales Associates and Team Leaders to deliver an exceptional shopping experience for every customer and a positive work environment for every colleague.

As we rapidly expand across the globe, we’ll give you the tools you need to excel. We’ll also offer you competitive benefits and work‑life balance – we know your life outside of the store is important.

What You’ll Bring

Our Department Managers typically join us with retail experience as either a Store Manager, Assistant Store Manager, or Department Manager.
