LA POP-UP | OCTOBER 2026 (2 WEEKS) | AUSTRALIAN MENSWEAR BRAND
This is one of the fastest-rising menswear labels out of Australia right now, building serious cultural momentum and quickly becoming a name in trending men's fashion. This October, the brand is bringing that energy to LA for a 2-week takeover, and we're looking for a Store Manager who can lead a team through a high-visibility, high-intensity run and make it unforgettable.
This is a short, fast-moving pop‑up in one of the most competitive retail neighborhoods in the world, every day matters. We need someone who leads with energy, moves fast, and knows how to build real hype on the floor.
The Role
As Store Manager , you'll lead the on-the-ground team for the full 2-week LA run, setting the tone, driving performance, and making sure the brand's first real SoCal moment lands exactly the way it should. You'll own the floor, the team, and the numbers.
This role is built for someone who thrives under pressure, loves the intensity of a short, high-stakes run, and knows how to turn a pop‑up into a cultural moment people talk about after it's gone.
Profile of the Ideal Candidate
High-energy and culturally plugged in, genuinely knows menswear, streetwear, and what's actually trending right now
A natural hype-builder who can get a team fired up and keep that energy consistent across a demanding 2-week run
Confident, decisive, and thrives under pressure, this is a short window with no room for a slow start
Strong personal style and presence that reflects the brand's identity
Comfortable leading a team fast, with minimal ramp-up time before doors open
Detail-oriented enough to keep tight inventory and operations dialed in during a short, limited-stock run
Key Requirements
Prior experience in a retail leadership role (Store Manager, Assistant Manager, or Keyholder) is required*
Menswear or streetwear retail background strongly preferred
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, limited-run pop‑up environment, this isn't a slow-build retail rollout
Available for the full 2-week run in October, including evenings and weekends
Based in or able to work on-site in Los Angeles for the full duration
What You'll Own
Lead a fast-onboarded team, getting everyone brand-ready and floor-ready in a compressed timeline
Set the energy and tone for the entire run, this team needs to feel the hype, not just sell product
Build and manage the staff schedule to keep the floor fully covered and energized across all operating hours
Customer Experience
Create a high-energy, culturally credible experience that matches how this brand is perceived in the market
Turn walk-ins into genuine fans - this is about building brand loyalty in a short window, not just closing sales
Personally handle key moments and VIP/press visits with the polish the brand's rising profile demands
Own aggressive sales performance across a compressed 2-week window, every day counts toward the pop-up's success
Read the floor in real time and adjust team focus and stock presentation to keep momentum building daily
Report daily performance and customer insight back to the brand/RFTP point of contact
Visual Merchandising & Brand Presentation
Maintain sharp, trend-forward visual merchandising that reflects the brand's fast-rising identity
Keep the space feeling fresh and energized throughout the full run, not just on opening day
Operations & Store Management
Own daily opening/closing procedures and tight inventory tracking across a limited-stock pop‑up run
Manage stock deliveries and replenishment closely given the compressed timeline and limited inventory
Lead full close‑out procedures at the end of the 2-week run, including final inventory reconciliation and space breakdown
Serve as the primary on-site point of contact for any operational issues during the run
Success Metrics
Strong sales performance across the full 2-week run
Real, visible brand buzz and engagement generated during the activation
A high-energy, well-run floor from open to close, every day of the run
Clean, accurate close-out at the end of the 2 weeks
Why You'll Love Working Here
Competitive hourly compensation
A ground-floor seat at one of the most talked-about menswear brands coming out of Australia right now, as it makes its move into USA
Start Date: October 2026 (2-week LA activation)
