Job Overview:

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Store Manager to oversee the daily operations of our self-storage facility in Kahului, HI.

Attracting and retaining the best talent is vital to our success. We look to empower employees to make their own decisions, set the bar on compensation and benefits at the very upper end of the self-storage industry, foster a positive and “can-do” culture, and provide growth opportunities (including promoting from within). You are a critical part of the company’s success – we view talent such as yourself as a top strategic priority and want to hear from you on how we make you and the company successful – we strive to make every day better than the previous one. We look for individuals that embrace the start-up dynamic, recognizing both the opportunities for greater responsibility and the learning experiences from mistakes.

• Working with and ensuring performance of local vendors (e.g., tracking work orders for maintenance services, etc.)
• Lead and develop the team, promoting a positive work environment.
• Selling storage related merchandise and ensuring adequate inventory (e.g., locks, boxes, etc.)
