Job description
🚀 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 .
🧠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.
