Turn your leadership skills into something unforgettable.
 

At Nectar Life, we transform the bath and body experience into something vibrant, playful, and full of joy. Our products are plant-based, cruelty-free, and made to delight the senses—and our stores are just as dynamic as our brand. If you’ve led high-performing teams in luxury or high-volume retail, this is your opportunity to take that talent to a company that celebrates energy, creativity, and results.

• Develop and execute short- and long-term strategies to maximize store sales and elevate the customer experience
• Deliver clear, actionable feedback through monthly performance reviews and daily coaching moments
• Foster a high-performance culture through one-on-one mentorship, consistent recognition, and a passion for training
• Support the achievement of all store KPIs including sales, payroll, shrink, ADS, and retention
• Ensure execution of company visual and merchandising standards
• Uphold and promote safety, cleanliness, and a positive, inclusive workplace
• Contribute to company-wide initiatives, personal development, and community programs

• Have 2–5+ years of leadership experience in luxury, premium, or high-volume retail

• Thrive in a commission-based, results-driven environment
• Know how to energize a team with positivity, structure, and clear direction
• Have excellent judgment and a natural ability to de-escalate customer concerns
• Are comfortable lifting up to 40 lbs and working holidays/weekends
• Appreciate a professional appearance policy (inappropriate tattoos must be covered)
• Want to grow your leadership career in a fast-moving and mission-driven brand
