What You'll Do As a SMIT, we are invested in your growth and expect you to be a key catalyst for the daily operations and team development of the store.

You will lead, coach, and support your team to deliver exceptional service and achieve business performance. Engage with leadership on training initiatives, projects, and performance goals to advance your path to promotion. Maintain the total shopping experience, including visual and operational elements, current sales initiatives, and customer relationships that drive sales and repeat business (e.g., MYGNC Rewards).
