About Purpose Boutique

At Purpose Boutique, we create a personalized, elevated styling experience with products that change lives. With both women’s and men’s stores, Purpose is a fast-growing retail company with multiple locations, new store launches ahead, and a deeply values-driven culture.

We believe business can be a powerful force for good. A percentage of every sale supports the fight against human trafficking locally and globally, as well as a local foster care organization—meaning the work we do every day truly matters.

If you are a strong retail leader who loves sales, developing people, and taking ownership of results, this role is for you.

• Enhance the store environment through positivity, organization, cleanliness, and strong product presentation
• Assist in key store operations including scheduling support, visual merchandising execution, inventory flow, and store standards
• Celebrate wins, recognize outstanding performance, and contribute to a culture of accountability, growth, and fun

• Has proven retail sales leadership experience and a strong personal sales background
• Is motivated by goals, performance metrics, and team success
• Loves being on the floor, selling, coaching, and leading by example
• Thinks like a future Store Manager and takes pride in store results
• Enjoys developing people and helping others grow into top performers
