• Monitor shrink/loss prevention, payroll, and staff schedules.
• Communicate with retail leadership and HQ about trends and customer feedback.
• Analyze sales reports and use data to inform strategies to meet sales targets.
• Merchandise the store effectively, following planograms and launching promotions on time.
• Collaborate with your Store Manager to develop a high-performing, customer-focused team.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• 1-2 years of retail store management experience. Passion for philanthropy and pop culture is a plus!
• Experience leading successful teams, with skills in communication, recruiting, operations, and team development.
• Strong skills in communication, time management, professionalism, and operational tasks.
• You must be at least 18 years old.
• A high school diploma or GED; a degree is a bonus.
• Ability to adapt to the fast-changing retail environment and handle unexpected challenges.

Pay range: $20.25 - $24.30 per hour. Final salary depends on education, location, experience, and other factors.
