What are the responsibilities and job description for the Store Manager: Joyfolie position at Leap?
About the Brand:
Joyfolie is about beautiful textures, unique finishes, and careful details that come together in a pair of feminine shoes or a lovely piece of clothing designed to delight. Whether it’s flowered peep toes, velvet high-low dresses, ruffled t-straps, or stylish distressed denim our aim is to create nonpareil clothing and shoes that make gals of all ages feel pampered and special. Our girl’s occasion shoes are carefully packaged in decorative draw boxes with styled photography, presenting them as little pieces of art. When I began this business as a hobby, I often made little clips out of scraps and tucked them into orders with hand written notes, as an expression of my thanks to loyal customers who enabled me to make a vocation out of something I loved so much. As Joyfolie has grown, all our girl’s occasion shoes include an extra clip, in that same expression of gratitude. The Joyfolie brand has since expanded to include not only girl’s shoes and boots but also an apparel line with my daughter’s namesake - Mia Joy.
About the Role:
We are seeking an innovative and dynamic Store Leader for our Joyfolie boutique powered by the Leap Platform, located in the New York City market. As a local market expert, you’ll leverage your knowledge of community events, build partnerships with neighboring stores, and utilize strong networking skills to drive client engagement and business growth. You’ll also design and implement impactful in-store activations to increase foot traffic, drive customer engagement, and deliver measurable results.
You will strategically develop and implement plans to drive sales, elevate client interactions, and strengthen community connections to boost brand awareness. The Store Leader will recruit and develop top-tier talent, fostering a high-performing team through strategic hiring, coaching, and mentorship. Clear and transparent communication of goals and expectations will be key to fostering alignment and collaboration across the team.
Operational excellence is a cornerstone of this role. You’ll ensure store standards are consistently met, overseeing responsibilities such as cleanliness, visual merchandising, inventory management, and shipment processing. By maintaining seamless execution, you will deliver a superior customer experience. The ideal candidate will thrive in an independent, fast-paced environment and excel under pressure. They will successfully manage store opening and closing procedures, optimize team schedules, and ensure payroll accuracy—all while maintaining a full-time commitment to the store’s success.
This role extends beyond a single store, supporting other Leap-powered locations within the market. Responsibilities include assisting with new store openings, providing floor coverage, onboarding associates, and overseeing activations as needed. A commitment to continuous learning and adoption of new technologies is essential, with familiarity in platforms such as Shopify, Endear, Slack, and Google Workspace being advantageous.
