The Role: Visual Operations Manager
Overview

- Partner with the store management team to ensure merchandising supports business goals and elevates the customer experience.
- Maintain cleanliness and operational readiness of displays, fixtures, and lighting.
- Conduct regular visual and operations assessments with action plans for continued improvement.
- Assist on the sales floor-supporting stylists, helping customers, managing fitting rooms, and operating the cash wrap.
- Actively support recruitment and performance management by participating in all aspects of team development.
- Minimum 2 years of experience in visual merchandising
- Strong fashion sense and awareness of current trends
- Ability to work independently and lead in a fast-paced team environment
- Strong organizational, time management, and communication skills
- Willingness to work early mornings and occasional late nights as needed
- Open to flexible scheduling, including weekends and holidays
- Able to lift up to 50 lbs.
- Comfortable standing or walking for extended periods (10-12 hour shifts)
- Willingness to occasionally travel to support other stores as needed
