About Us

We're a successful retail operation generating $6M in annual revenue, poised for dramatic expansion. We're not just looking to grow—we're building a vertically integrated retail ecosystem that will redefine customer experience and operational excellence in our market.

Job Description

As our Retail Growth Architect, you'll transform our thriving single-location retail operation into a multi-channel, multi-location powerhouse. This is a rare opportunity to partner directly with the founder and build something extraordinary from a solid foundation.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable systems to support 10x growth within 5 years
• Develop a team with ownership mentality at every level
• Create proprietary operational advantages our competitors cannot easily replicate
• Integrate our retail operations with upcoming manufacturing capabilities
• Establish metrics and accountability that drive continuous improvement
• Free the founder to focus on product innovation and strategic growth

Qualifications

• Proven track record scaling retail operations from under $10M to $30M in revenue
• Experience expanding from single to multiple retail locations while improving quality
• Demonstrated success in reducing inventory management costs while increasing accuracy
• History of creating staff development programs that produce future leaders
• Strong financial acumen with experience managing $10M P&Ls
• Experience with omnichannel integration (physical, e-commerce, wholesale)

The Ideal Candidate Has

• Builder's DNA: You've personally created the systems that enabled significant retail growth
• Relentless Standards: You're never satisfied with "industry standard" and constantly push boundaries
• Data Fluency: You're equally comfortable with P&L analysis and on-the-floor coaching
• Technical Vision: You leverage technology to amplify human capabilities
• Leadership Magnetism: A-players actively seek to work for you because you help them excel

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $175,000-$250,000 (commensurate with demonstrated results)
• Performance Bonus: Up to 100% of base through our structured performance system:
• 30% tied to quarterly operational excellence metrics
• 50% tied to annual growth targets
• 20% tied to team development milestones
• Opportunity for Ownership: Potential for company ownership for exceptional performers
• Total First-Year Target: $300,000-$450,000 with substantial upside in future years
• [Add standard benefits: health insurance, retirement plan, etc.]

The Opportunity

• Direct partnership with a founder committed to providing resources for success
• Build your own leadership team as we scale
• Implement your vision of retail excellence without corporate bureaucracy
• Opportunity to gain ownership in a rapidly growing operation

Not The Right Fit If You

• Have only executed systems others have built
• Require extensive direction or external motivation
• Believe retail operations has "figured everything out already"
• View people development as a secondary priority

The Bezos Test

We're looking for someone who could have walked into Amazon in 1998 and immediately contributed to its revolutionary growth. Your ideas should sometimes sound impossible until you explain exactly how you'll execute them.

How to Apply:

Please do not submit a traditional resume. Instead, submit your retail growth thesis—tell us specifically how you would approach transforming our operation and what you've already accomplished that proves you can deliver results.

The most compelling responses will lead to direct conversations with the founder.
