🚀 We’re Hiring: Director of Retail Operations & Growth

We are a high-volume liquidation business selling appliances, furniture, flooring, tools, and home improvement products at deep discounts — and we’re growing fast.

I’m looking for a Director of Retail Operations & Growth to run the day‑to‑day execution of the business and help take it to the next level.

This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who understands how sales, inventory, marketing, and people all connect.

What You’ll Own

This role has real authority and accountability , including:

  • Running sales campaigns and driving daily/weekly revenue
  • Holding salespeople accountable to activity, follow‑up, and closing
  • Training and coaching the sales team (on the floor, not from a desk)
  • Managing inventory, receiving, pricing, and store flow
  • Understanding and operating within a liquidation / discount retail model
  • Overseeing marketing execution (ads, promotions, local campaigns)
  • Managing contractor & professional customer relationships
  • Building and scaling e‑commerce (Shopify, marketplaces, listings)
  • Improving systems, processes, and execution across the store
  • Acting as the day‑to‑day operator so the owner can focus on growth

You will not be “handed a playbook.”

You will help build it, enforce it, and improve it .

đź§  Who This Role Is For

This is a strong fit if you:

  • Have led teams in retail, sales, operations, or liquidation
  • Understand how to drive urgency, volume, and margin
  • Are comfortable with KPIs, accountability, and tough conversations
  • Can balance strategy with hands‑on execution
  • Want ownership, autonomy, and visible impact
  • Are tired of roles where decisions die in meetings

❌ This Role Is NOT For

  • Someone who only wants to do marketing
  • Someone who avoids accountability or conflict
  • Someone who needs constant direction
  • Someone looking for a slow‑paced or corporate environment

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary (based on experience)
  • Performance‑based incentives
  • Real authority to run the operation
  • Direct access to ownership
  • A fast‑growing business with room to grow into more

We are building something real here — and we’re looking for the right operator to help lead it.
