About LEAP

About the Role

As a Retail Account Manager at LEAP, you’ll serve as the connective tissue between premium and emerging brands and our boutique retail teams across the East Coast. In this dynamic, field-based role, you will oversee a portfolio of stores across multiple brands—acting as both a strategic brand liaison and a high-impact coach. Your mission is to drive exceptional client experiences, elevate store performance, and ensure operational precision in every location under your leadership.

A typical day might begin with reviewing sales data across locations, identifying opportunities to optimize conversion or increase foot traffic in a key market. By midday, you're walking the floor at one of your stores, meeting with the Store Manager to fine-tune a new visual rollout or support a clienteling activation. In the afternoon, you're on a call with a brand partner, reviewing KPIs and providing tailored insights to help them grow their physical retail channel. You round out the day mentoring a new manager, reinforcing Leap’s culture of ownership, excellence, and brand alignment.

You’ll play a critical role in developing retail talent, building localized strategies that reflect market nuances, and representing LEAP’s commitment to elevated execution across every store. This is a high-touch, high-autonomy role that requires someone who thrives on partnership, adaptability, and continuous improvement in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

Annual Pay Range : $110k to $130k. Compensation will be determined based on the candidate's experience, skills, competencies, and qualifications.
