  • Collaborate with the Store Manager to track KPIs, identify improvement opportunities, and contribute to team success
  • Participate in local community engagement initiatives to support the organization’s mission
  • Maintain strong communication with team members, volunteers, and leadership

REQUIREMENTS

  • Previous supervisory or team lead experience, ideally in retail, warehouse, or logistics
  • A collaborative leadership style with the ability to support, coach, and motivate others

  • Strong organizational and multitasking abilities in a fast-paced setting
  • A commitment to safety, accessibility, and inclusive work environments

  • Grow your career within a growing, purpose-led retail model
  • Receive a competitive compensation and benefits package
  • Work in a collaborative and community-focused environment
