We are looking for a highly motivated, key contributor at Austin's favorite footwear start-up, Rickshaw Boot & Flip Flop Company. We have a team that executes across a wide range of areas to help grow our business including marketing, sales, retail, operations & creative, among others. Every role at Rickshaw is focused on creating an amazing experience for our customers and we offer every employee an opportunity to participate in helping drive business.
Rickshaw is a direct to consumer boot & flip-flop brand that sells our products online and out of direct-to-consumer channels. Our direct-to-consumer model helps us remove all of the heavy fees that you find with boot retailers and brings superior products to market at a fraction of the cost.
Rickshaw products are designed in-Austin and include men and women western boots, leather flip-flops and other Texas products. We create a quality and comfortable product and a personalized and fun experience for every customer that walks into our doors.
At Rickshaw, you feel something special when you walk into one of our locations. The smell of leather hits your nose immediately. There is a nostalgic feeling that comes across you as you find yourself in a vintage Airstream that you could have camped in 50 years ago. You take a few steps into the midst of a boot store and realize it is surprisingly bigger than what you thought it was before you entered. Our staff has a warm southern hospitality that is welcoming and educational on Rickshaw's products and our story. When you leave, you have a product and a story that will last a lifetime.
The Manager of Sales is an integral part of Rickshaw's business and is the first person the customer sees when walking into one of our locations. The role requires a high level of positive energy, management experience, and sales ability. You will report direct to our Head of Operations and your responsibilities include opening and closing, sales, cashier, customer service, inventory and other daily responsibilities.
