We are not hiring an assistant.
We are developing a future Store Manager.

Career Path
Year 1:

• Develop sales and operational expertise
• Begin leadership responsibilities
• Earn performance-based bonuses

Year 2:

• Take ownership of store performance metrics
• Lead team training and execution
• Step into Store Manager role

This is a career-track position, not a static retail role.

Physical Requirements

• Assist with moving showroom displays and equipment
• Active, on-your-feet work environment

What We’re Looking For

• Self-motivated and driven
• Competitive mindset
• Strong communication skills
