Lead Retail Store Operations

Lead one of the busiest and most successful The UPS Store locations in Washington, DC. We're looking for an experienced retail leader who enjoys developing employees, improving operations, and taking ownership of a business. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll have the autonomy to make decisions, coach your team, and drive the store's success while working directly with supportive local ownership.

The ideal candidate has college coursework, an associate's or bachelor's degree, or equivalent leadership experience in retail management, along with at least two years of retail store operations experience. They possess strong leadership, coaching, and supervisory skills, are proficient with Microsoft Office, POS systems, and other business software, and have the physical ability to perform the essential functions of the job, including lifting, bending, and standing for extended periods. The successful candidate is an effective communicator who knows how to listen, lead by example, motivate a team, and drive outstanding customer service and operational performance.

Salary: $60,000–$70,000 annually, based on experience, plus performance bonuses.

Store hours are:
