Retail Store Manager (Store Operator)

About the Role

Tired of corporate retail red tape? Blair’s Closet is seeking a confident, experienced retail leader to take the reins of our store operations. This isn't a "follow the manual" job—it’s an opportunity for a self-starter to run day-to-day operations like an owner, with the full support and inventory of a 15-year established business behind them.

What You'll Be Doing

• Complete Store Ownership: Manage daily operations, including opening/closing and independent decision-making.
• Merchandising & Inventory: Coordinate with our warehouse team to rotate fresh QVC and name-brand inventory onto the floor.
• Sales Strategy: Execute promotions and markdowns to keep inventory moving and the floor looking fresh.
• Marketing Collaboration: Work with our marketing team to plan Facebook campaigns and identify traffic-driving opportunities.
• Customer Connection: Build real relationships with our loyal shoppers and provide a welcoming boutique experience.

What This Job Is Like

• High Autonomy: You will work independently most days, requiring high accountability and self-motivation.
• Dynamic Pace: Some days are fast-paced with high foot traffic; slower periods are your time to shine through merchandising and creative layout improvements.
• Growth-Oriented: You aren't just a clerk; you are a store operator with a direct impact on the success and growth of the location.

• Base Salary: $45,000 per year.
• Bonus Structure: Performance-based bonuses tied to store growth (up to $60,000 total annual compensation).
• Benefits: Employee discount and Paid Time Off (PTO).
• Hours: Full-time, 5-day work week. Must be available to work Saturdays. (Store Hours: Mon–Sat, 9 AM – 6 PM).

What We're Looking For

• Independent Leadership: Ability to run the floor, manage staff, and handle daily operations without hand-holding.
• Operational Excellence: Strong focus on store organization, merchandising, and high-volume sales.
• Problem Solver: A "get it done" attitude when it comes to customer service and store logistics.
• Reliability: We need a consistent leader who shows up ready to drive the business forward every day.

⚠️ This Role Is Not a Fit If You…

• You prefer a desk job (this is a hands-on role where you are active on the floor).
• You are looking for a corporate "middle management" role with layers of bureaucracy.
• You struggle with making independent decisions in a fast-paced retail environment.
• You prefer a slow-paced, boutique-style shopping environment.
