    Are You Actually Awesome at Retail?

    We're hiring a Housewares and Wine Sales Manager.

    If you're a superstar at retail, this is your ticket to turn that talent into a career at a store you'll actually enjoy coming to work in, in a small Ohio downtown that's the stuff of Norman Rockwell dreams.

    We're known as the Fun Store — we sell wine, coffee, chocolate, gourmet olive oil, and top-shelf cutlery, cookware, and cool kitchen gadgets — and we and our staff have fun with our customers.

    Yeah, there's work, but engaging customers, hospitality, and having fun is a core part of the job. And if you're amazing at retail, you understand exactly why and how we do that.

    But unlike most retail jobs, this management position pays well, has true upward mobility, and ensures you'll be working with and managing a great team.

    What do we mean by pays well?

    Salaried full-time position, $65,000 to $70,000, plus quarterly bonus after 90 days based on team sales goals attainment

    Health insurance plan with premium supplementation by employer

    Paid holidays, vacations, and personal days

    Ability to move up — we're adding new stores, so store manager is an attainable position

    Generous employee discount program, which helps since we sell gourmet coffee, olive oil, wine, kitchenware, appliances, beds, and TVs

    Quarterly team celebrations

    Live in a family-oriented small town community with great schools and an attractive cost of living

    So what do we need from you?

    You need to be a multi-tasker, capable of prioritizing multiple projects at a time while keeping team member skills and abilities in mind.

    You need to be a motivator, with a servant-leadership style. You'll be managing other people while working shoulder to shoulder with them. And your success will come from being able to recruit, train, and motivate your team with goals and performance expectations.

    You need to be a communicator, with great listening skills and the ability to run store meetings, coordinate staff on the floor, produce newsletters, and more.

    In addition to those core skills, you'll need to have:

    Minimum 5 years retail sales/hospitality management experience

    Minimum 3 years team building and training experience

    An ability to create, plan and execute product trainings, events and sales contests

    Proven track record of recruiting, supervising, scheduling, training, developing, and inspiring a team

    Availability to work most Saturdays and some evenings

    Capability to safely lift loads in excess of 35 pounds

    Strong computer and mathematical skills

    Ability to pass a criminal background check and pre-employment drug screening

    A valid driver's license with a clean driving record

    Strong dedication to exceptional customer/guest service

    A passion for food, cooking and wine

    A love for learning and sharing product knowledge, cooking skills, etc.
