Shop Manager

Our Store Managers are the backbone of a&bé. They are serious bosses who drive their store's success by fostering supportive, fun environments where their team and brides can thrive! Being a Store Manager at our company is like running your own business, with the amazing support of our marketing and leadership team, which has grown the company from 1 store to 13 and counting over the past 20 years. Our managers geek out on the latest designer collections and business podcasts and always help us find ways to level up our in-store experience and collection for our brides.

Our Store Managers are sales gurus. They love numbers, are motivated by healthy competition, and can inspire others to challenge themselves. They are goal-getters who can also flex with the ever-changing demands of the day. They bring calm to the crazy busy days and are cool under pressure. As a Store Manager, you'll not only build a team of the best stylists in the biz, but you'll also have the opportunity to work closely with designers and wedding professionals in your market to help your store excel.

We're on the hunt for you if:

• You are an energetic, people person . If you have a contagious smile, a positive outlook, and the ability to spark up a conversation with anyone, this is the job for you. We are looking for someone who genuinely loves working with people, both our customers and stylists.
• You have a way with words. You'll be communicating with everyone from your team, to brides, to designers, so strong verbal and written communication is a must. 
• You have a Monica Geller level of attention to detail. We take the best care of our brides and think through every little detail and anticipate their needs before they do. You probably have a color-coordinated planner.
• You have a track record of success: Store Managers lead the charge in meeting and exceeding sales goals and conversion metrics each month, so we want to see that you've contributed to a team that has done that in the past.
• You work hard/play hard. Our brand was built on the foundation of a Midwestern work ethic, and we love building dynamic teams of people with integrity and awesome multi-tasking skills. Self-starters need only apply.
• You're a community builder: You're able to cultivate relationships with local vendors as well as national and international design partners. Networking is your jam!
• You Thrive as a Leader: We are looking for someone who loves building and developing a team, from hiring, training and motivating employees at every stage of their career with us. 
• You're cool as a cucumber under pressure: You have a bride who's moved up their wedding date, your bathroom has sprung a leak, and your right-hand stylist called out sick, but you're navigating the day with ease and grace and have everything under control. You don't shy away from challenging situations, but rather thrive on problem-solving and finding solutions. 
• You are an Operations Wizard: You know your way around a good spreadsheet and can promptly drum up sales reports, expense reports, schedules, and payroll details with ease. You're typically ahead of deadlines, you overachiever, you. 
• You're a ride or die: We're looking for a candidate who wants to be part of a growing business and who will commit to staying with our company for a long time
• Weekend Availability. This is a must. Saturday is the day to find your dress and pop the bubbly so it is required of everyone we hire to work this day. We promise it is the most fun day in the store!
