Job description

Do you love leading a sales team while creating an experience customers want to return to?

Are you energized by building strong people, owning results, and running a store like it is your business?

Can you balance high standards and accountability with the warmth and hospitality that make a team thrive?

Our client, Purpose Boutique is hiring a Store Manager to lead our Kirkland store.

This is a hands-on retail leadership role for someone who is both a strong sales leader and an exceptional people manager. You will lead from the floor-coaching Stylists, connecting with customers, and creating personalized shopping experiences-while also owning the business behind the scenes.

If you genuinely love style, enjoy helping people feel confident, and want to represent a brand you would personally shop, this is an opportunity to lead a store experience that feels both high-performing and personal.

From revenue and payroll to hiring, scheduling, merchandising, inventory, and team development, you will have a meaningful impact on the store’s performance and culture.

What You'll Do

• Lead the store to achieve sales, margin, payroll, and customer-experience goals
• Model strong selling behaviors and personalized styling on the sales floor
• Hire, train, coach, and retain a high-performing team of Stylists
• Develop team members through clear expectations, real-time coaching, and regular feedback
• Create schedules that support both business needs and a positive team experience
• Manage payroll, inventory flow, visual merchandising, and daily store operations
• Maintain a clean, organized, welcoming, and visually compelling store environment
• Identify and develop emerging leaders within the team
• Build an accountable, positive culture where people work hard, support one another, and have fun

What You'll Bring

• Retail leadership experience with a strong record of driving sales and developing people
• A hands-on, customer-first leadership style; you are comfortable coaching from the floor, not managing from the back office
• Comfort using sales, margin, payroll, and staffing results to make sound business decisions
• Experience hiring, scheduling, training, and developing a retail or customer-facing team
• Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to build trust with a wide range of people
• A genuine interest in style, personal connection, and helping customers feel confident
• An ownership mindset, positive energy, and a willingness to be accountable for results

Base salary: $65,000-$75,000 annually, based on experience.

Bonus opportunity: Monthly performance-based bonuses tied to store sales revenue, margin performance, and payroll results. Store Managers who meet standards may earn annual bonuses beginning around $4,000; those who exceed goals may earn $15,000 or more. Bonus earnings are performance-based, not guaranteed, and have no stated cap.

Purpose also offers:

• Medical coverage with a 75% company contribution
• Voluntary dental coverage
• HSA option
• SIMPLE IRA with up to a 3% company match
• Paid time off
• 35% employee discount for Store Managers
• Monthly clothing allowance
• Store-credit recognition for exceptional sales transactions
• Opportunities for long-term leadership growth as Purpose continues to grow
