Assistant Store Manager
**Job Description**
We're looking for someone pretty special to help us slang a few tees and get the word out about Marine Layer at our new stores. This is not a typical retail position because we are not a typical company. While selling shirts and maintaining the store are both very important, we primarily want someone who is personable, self-motivated and 110% committed to the success of their store and the brand as a whole.
We need someone who can represent our lifestyle and company culture from hundreds of miles away. While we will (of course) be involved in branding, merchandising, events and training, it is very important for you to be an independent self starter. We want you to want (not a The Break-Up movie reference) to work hard alongside your team, motivate them to success, and have fun while doing just that.
**Scope**
* Customer Experience: We want people to walk out of our stores excited about our brand. You should be (pretty) funny, (very) charismatic and be one hell of a host(ess) of the party. Youll always want to help inspire the team to deliver a customer experience that is genuine and exceeds expectations .
* People Development: We pride ourselves in hiring green and developing our people. Previous personal success stories with people development and employee retention are a must. Engage with your employees individually and the team as a whole. Offer consistent and timely feedback to encourage professional growth and maintain a positive working environment.
* Leadership: We want someone who is passionate about helping to keep a team happy, engaged and challenged. Youre excited to assist in recruiting and nurturing talent, to make our brand a success. Guide rather than manage, encourage rather than force and inspire rather than discourage.
* Merchandising: Our product needs to look good and sell well in our stores. It just doesnt sell itself by sitting on a shelf...which would be cool but lets be real. It's important for you to have a keen eye for merchandising and visual standards. Have those piles look purdy and well stocked.
* Operations: We need operational excellence as theres always (and we mean always) something to do. The ability to learn and train others in but not limited to POS skills, LP training, back and front of house standards. A well operated and functioning store is a well loved store.
**Qualifications**
Desire to work in a start?up (ish) environment.
A lot of people say they want to work at a start-up; not as many people really know what that means. Here it means we all work very hard, we believe deeply in the future of this company, and we all do a lotta bit of everything.
Success in a Retail Management Role.
The size of your previous company and the product category you've worked in are not important to us. If you're a good manager with leadership skills and a positive attitude, you can succeed here.
Culture Fit.
This is a close-knit group that gets along extremely well. We all work hard, but manage to have a lot of fun along the way. We're all working towards the same goal of making Marine Layer something special and if you are on board for that (and don't have a stick up your butt) you'll fit in really well.
**Perks**
* Competitive pay and bonus
* Clothing allowance and generous discount
* Paid time off
* Health, Vision and Dental Insurance available
* 401k with Matching
* Flexible Spending Accounts
* Parental Leave
