Rice’s Gift Gallery is looking for a Manager to lead our department, serve our customers, and grow our team. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can build the business while building the people in it — pouring into our team members so they can grow professionally and live lives of purpose and service.

This is an experienced leadership position, not an entry-level role. We are looking for a proven retail leader who has run a department or store, managed a team, and owned results. If that’s you, we’d love to meet you.

 

Responsibilities include:

• Leading the Gift Gallery with positive, energetic, hands-on leadership
• Purchasing and buying — selecting merchandise our customers will love and keeping the floor fresh
• Managing inventory — ordering, receiving, stocking, pricing, and controlling shrink
• Driving sales and creating an inviting, beautifully merchandised store
• Building and growing our online sales presence — e-commerce, social media, and digital marketing
• Hiring, scheduling, and staffing the department to serve our customers well
• Training, coaching, and developing team members — growing them professionally and personally
• Building a team culture of kindness, ownership, and excellence
• Building relationships with our customers and assisting with product selection and gift registries
• Being a source of kindness for all customers
• Overseeing point of sale operations and cash drawer management
• Setting goals for the department and the team and leading the way to reach them

Required Qualifications:

• 2+ years of retail management or supervisory experience (department manager, store manager, assistant manager, or similar)
• Proven experience directly hiring, scheduling, training, and leading a team of employees
• Hands-on experience with purchasing, buying, or merchandising for a department or store
• Experience managing inventory — ordering, receiving, pricing, and loss prevention
• A track record of driving sales and being accountable for results
• Technically capable — comfortable building and managing an online sales presence (e-commerce platform, social media, and digital marketing)
• Strong organizational skills and comfort with point of sale and basic retail reporting

Preferred Qualifications and Skills:

• A positive, energetic attitude that motivates and encourages others
• A heart for developing people and growing a team
• Background in gift, home décor, boutique, or specialty retail
• Experience running an online store (Shopify, Square, BigCommerce, or similar) and growing sales through social media
• Excellent relational and verbal communication skills with people of all ages
• Ability to serve all types of people with kindness

A few things about us:

• Team environment that works well together
• We serve a small community with extreme love
• Over 50 years of serving Ohio County, KY
• We invest in our people and help them grow for lives of purpose and service
• We work really hard and love what we do
