Boutique Manager

Boutique Manager | Walker Boutique & Little Doses | Statesboro, GA

You've run a sales floor. You've built a team. You know what a great display does to a sale. Now you want a store where your eye and your leadership actually matter.

Walker Boutique is a family-owned boutique in Statesboro's Market District. We're looking for an experienced retail leader to run our floor across Walker Boutique and Little Doses, our children's boutique. You'll lead the team, own how the store looks, and guide families through weddings and new babies through our registry program.

This isn't a chain where merchandising arrives in a binder from corporate. Here, the floor is yours.

This is not an entry-level role. If you haven't led a team on a sales floor, this isn't the right fit.

What You'll Own

Your Team

• Build the associate schedule within the payroll budget, set each semester
• Handle time-off requests, time adjustments, and payroll approval each pay period
• Hire, train, evaluate, and coach your sales associates
• Address attendance and performance issues early and document them
• Develop your people. Associates who are developed stay longer and serve better.

Your Floor

• Lead from the floor, not an office. Expect to spend roughly 70–80% of your day with customers and your team.
• Own merchandising and floor presentation, working with our buyers on how new product is shown
• Direct daily merchandising: stocking, steaming, folding, and display refreshes
• Get new merchandise onto the floor fast and make it sell
• Know the product across every category: women's apparel, children's, gifts, jewelry, accessories, and home
• Set the service standard personally. Greet every customer, answer the phone professionally, and run Shopify POS accurately.
• Safeguard store assets and follow policy on theft

Wedding and Baby Registry

• Own the registry program: procedures, inventory, and communications
• Consult with brides, expecting parents, and their families on options and special requests
• Build and maintain registries in Gift Reggie with accurate product and pricing
• Track purchases and flag replenishment needs
• Coordinate showers, drop-offs, gift wrap, and pickups
• Keep the bridal room beautiful and well-merchandised

What You Bring

Required

• 2+ years leading a retail team (corporate or small business): building schedules, coaching associates, and handling performance problems
• A real eye for fashion and merchandising. You notice when a display is off, and you know how to fix it.
• A customer-first instinct. You'd rather be on the floor helping someone than behind a counter.
• Follow-through. You finish what you start and hold your team to the same standard.
• Availability for 1–2 Saturdays per month and extended hours September through December

Helpful

• Experience in a boutique, specialty, or gift retail store
• Shopify POS and backend experience. (We'll train the right person)
• Experience with bridal or baby registries

The Details

• Schedule: Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a one-hour lunch. One to two Saturdays per month, with the following Monday off. Additional hours during peak season and events.
• Pay: $21/hr+, based on relevant experience
• Location: On-site, Market District, Statesboro, GA
• Physical: Standing for long periods, carrying merchandise up and down stairs, and climbing ladders
