Job description

Since 2009, American Threads has grown into a multi-location brand with boutiques across Texas, Arizona, Georgia, and Florida – alongside a thriving online store that reaches customers nationwide. Headquartered in California, we blend West Coast creativity with Southern Charm to deliver an elevated retail experience both in-store and online.

We empower individuals to show up confidently and express their personal style for every milestone moment – whether it’s a graduation, a bridal event, a birthday, or just a night out with the people they love. We combine trend-forward looks with timeless influences to create styles that feel current, effortless, and uniquely you.

American Threads is the land of the free, home of the babes – and that means we celebrate bold energy, originality, and the freedom to be exactly who you are. In our stores, you’ll find more than a great outfit. You’ll find a team of stylists who know how to turn a moment into a memory, hype you up in the fitting room, and build a look that tells a story.

WHO YOU ARE:

At American Threads, our stores are more than a place to shop – they’re a destination. As Store Manager, you’re the heartbeat of that experience. You’ll lead the vision, run a tight ship operationally, and build the kind of team that customers remember long after they’ve left the fitting room.

This role is for someone who gets fired up by a good sales week, genuinely loves developing people, and knows how to translate brand energy into real business results. You’ll own the full picture: performance, people, product, and presentation.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

Store Operations

• Own store opening and closing procedures – including cash counts, register management, nightly deposits, and securing the facility
• Build and manage the store schedule with payroll budget in mind, keeping coverage aligned with business needs
• Manage controllable expenses and ensure American Threads loss prevention policies are consistently executed
• Oversee Back-of-House operations and lead bi-monthly cycle counts; identify inventory gaps and drive corrective action
• Complete banking procedures every Monday and Friday
• Uphold a safe, policy-compliant environment for both your team and your customers

Customer Experience & Sales

• Set the tone on the floor – your energy is contagious. Model the kind of warm, attentive experience every guest deserves
• Act as a Fashion Stylist for your customers, using product knowledge to create personalized, memorable interactions
• Take ownership of your store’s financial health – analyze KPIs, spot trends, and build clear action plans that move the needs
• Leverage POS sales reports to track performance and make smart, data-backed decisions
• Drive revenue, exceed goals, and create a store experience guests want to come back to

People & Talent Development

• Lead by example as Manager-on-Duty – keeping the team focused, energized, and operating efficiently
• Actively recruit top talent and ensure all scheduling needs are covered at all time
• Take a hands-on-role in onboarding – set your new team members up for success from day one
• Educate your team on product knowledge, promotions, and American Threads customer service standards
• Champion a performance culture: coach your team on KPIs, share business insights, and celebrate wins
• Create a motivating environment where people genuinely love coming to work
• Monitor and maintain sales floor inventory levels to keep the store looking full and intentional
• Read your customer – notice what’s moving, what’s stalling, and adjust floor placement accordingly
• Execute visual standards for company-wide promotions and seasonal rollouts
• Ensure the floor always reflects American Threads’ aesthetic – elevated, on-trend, and on-brand
• Use Item Summary reports to track category performance and inform merchandise decisions

WHY AMERICAN THREADS:

• Be part of a fast-growing, trend-forward women’s fashion brand where operational excellence and beautiful presentation go hand in hand
• Work alongside a passionate, collaborative team in a dynamic, fashion-focused environment that values your expertise
• Grow your skills in visual merchandising, inventory management, and retail operations – with real opportunities for career advancement within the brand

WHAT YOU BRING:

• 3+ years of speciality retail management experience in a like-brand environment
