What You’ll be Doing

• Ace Retail Operations: You’ll ensure daily store tasks (pricing, shipment processing, fulfillment and inventory) are dialed in, keeping the store running like a tightly laced sneaker. Utilizing our company standards as a framework for success, you’ll deliver on our goal of keeping the store clean, organized, and all our famous styles easily shoppable.
• Be a Famous Culture Influencer: Champion our Famous culture with pride by embodying the behaviors that power our Customer Connection. You’ll provide stellar customer engagement, leaving customers wowed with consistently top-notch experiences powered by your attentiveness and determination to deliver them the styles and brands they crave.
• Elevate to Your Goal-Crushing Era: You’ll bring your best to each day; take accountability for your effort and its impact on Famous Footwear’s overall performance.

• Be a Shoe-off: You are shoe-obsessed (no judgment.) When a customer enters the store, you’re a shoe sleuth on the hunt for the perfect styles to suit their needs. It brightens your day to make shoe recommendations and ensure our customers leave the store with the perfect fit…and that Famous Feeling.

Essential Functions: Other responsibilities may be performed as needed to ensure the needs of the business are met. Overtime hours may be required to meet business needs.
