Founded in 2024, the company is focused on transforming recruitment through technology with a product-led approach, a strong customer focus, and a fast-paced growth mindset. Its mission is to revolutionize hiring through AI-powered talent acquisition, and its vision is to become the leading AI-powered hiring platform that changes how companies hire talent. The team values innovation, excellence, trust, transparency, and customer-centricity. This role supports a company that is still small, moving quickly, and looking for people who can create visible business impact while helping build a modern hiring experience.

About the Role

The Retail Store Manager owns the day-to-day performance of the store and the team that serves customers on the floor. The role is responsible for turning operating standards into consistent sales, service, and execution results. Success depends on building a disciplined store rhythm, keeping shelves, displays, and service levels aligned with business needs, and making sure the team delivers a reliable customer experience. The position is suited to someone who can balance people leadership, store operations, and commercial accountability in a fast-moving retail environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own store sales, customer experience, and operational execution so the location meets daily business targets and delivers a consistent in-store standard.
  • Lead opening, closing, staffing, and floor coverage decisions to keep the store ready for customers and reduce avoidable service gaps.
  • Manage and coach store staff through clear expectations, on-the-job support, and performance follow-up so the team executes reliably.
  • Monitor inventory, replenishment, and merchandising standards so stock availability, display quality, and loss control support revenue and customer trust.
  • Resolve customer issues quickly and professionally so the store protects loyalty, reputation, and repeat business.
  • Track store metrics, identify performance gaps, and act on them through practical changes that improve sales, productivity, and operating discipline.

Essential Skills & Technologies

  • Retail store leadership experience with the ability to run daily operations, manage frontline teams, and keep service, sales, and standards aligned.
  • Strong people management skills to hire, coach, schedule, and motivate team members while holding them accountable to expected outcomes.
  • Commercial judgment to read store performance, manage inventory impact, and take action that improves revenue, conversion, and margin.
  • Customer service orientation with the confidence to handle escalations, solve issues quickly, and maintain a positive store environment.
  • Working knowledge of retail processes, including merchandising, replenishment, stock handling, and basic loss-prevention discipline.
  • Comfort using standard reporting and store systems to track performance, identify trends, and guide operational decisions.

Additional Plus

  • Prior experience leading a retail store in a high-volume environment.
  • Exposure to multi-shift scheduling or multi-category retail operations.
  • Familiarity with process improvement or store turnaround work.

What You'll Bring

  • A hands-on leadership style that keeps the team focused on service, execution, and daily results.
  • The ability to translate store goals into clear routines, ownership, and follow-through across the team.
  • Sound judgment in balancing customer needs, team performance, and commercial priorities.
  • A calm, accountable approach to solving problems and maintaining standards under pressure.

Why Join Us

At TheHireHub, this role sits inside a company building the future of hiring with AI-powered products and a strong focus on customer impact. You will join a small, ambitious team where decisions move quickly, ownership is visible, and strong execution matters. The environment is designed for people who want to shape how work gets done rather than simply maintain the status quo. If you are energized by accountability, practical problem-solving, and creating outcomes that matter to customers and the business, this is a place where your work can have real influence. You will be part of a company that values innovation, excellence, transparency, and trust while building a platform with meaningful market potential.

What We Offer

  • A high-ownership role in a fast-growing company where your decisions directly affect store performance and customer experience.
