  • Improve the in-store customer experience through layout, service standards, and team training
  • Partner with ownership on business strategy, seasonal planning, and growth initiatives
  • Manage inventory flow, product assortment, and seasonal transitions
  • Build a strong team culture focused on accountability, service, and results
  • Identify operational gaps and implement systems to improve performance and consistency

Requirements

  • 5+ years of retail management experience, preferably in garden centers, landscaping supply, or similar environments
  • Proven experience leading teams in a customer-facing retail environment
  • Strong background in merchandising, product presentation, and sales strategy
  • Experience managing multiple departments or store functions
  • Demonstrated ability to improve customer experience and drive revenue growth
  • Strong leadership, communication, and team development skills
  • Comfortable in a hands-on, fast-paced retail setting
