The Role: Visual Operations Manager

Overview

As a Visual Operations Manager, you'll lead all visual and operational aspects of the store, managing a team of 4-20 depending on store size. This hybrid role blends creativity with strategy-you'll use sales data to inform layout decisions, craft compelling visual stories, and drive performance through effective merchandising.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategically prioritize and execute daily merchandising tasks based on both visual needs and sales analytics.
• Lead and execute floor moves, table and wall displays, mannequin styling, and seasonal/promotional set-ups in alignment with company guidelines.
• Partner with the store management team to ensure merchandising supports business goals and elevates the customer experience.
• Maintain cleanliness and operational readiness of displays, fixtures, and lighting.
• Conduct regular visual and operations assessments with action plans for continued improvement.
• Assist on the sales floor-supporting stylists, helping customers, managing fitting rooms, and operating the cash wrap.
• Actively support recruitment and performance management by participating in all aspects of team development.
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 2 years of experience in visual merchandising
• Strong fashion sense and awareness of current trends
• Ability to work independently and lead in a fast-paced team environment
• Strong organizational, time management, and communication skills
• Willingness to work early mornings and occasional late nights as needed
• Open to flexible scheduling, including weekends and holidays
  
  

Physical Requirements

• Able to lift up to 50 lbs.
• Comfortable standing or walking for extended periods (10-12 hour shifts)
  
  

Travel Requirements

• Willingness to occasionally travel to support other stores as needed
