You’ll also make certain that established merchandising practices are upheld to maintain a consistent and appealing shopping experience.

Beyond the operational side, this role involves recruiting and onboarding new employees, contributing to a strong and well-trained team. You’ll need to be comfortable working a schedule that reflects store operational needs, including days, evenings, and weekends, and be prepared to handle up to 40–50 hours per week. Physical demands such as working with ladders, lifting, and frequent movement are part of the daily routine.
