Our campus stores serve as vibrant hubs of college life and learning, creating retail and learning experiences that engage students, support faculty, and build alumni loyalty. Together, our teams help elevate lives through education.

The Department Manager is a key member of the store leadership team, responsible for leading the daily operations and overall performance of an assigned department while supporting the success of the campus store.

Lead merchandising, inventory management, visual presentation, and workload execution to ensure merchandise availability, operational excellence, and a customer-ready department.
Analyze department performance, sales trends, and operational metrics to make informed decisions, forecast business needs, and achieve measurable results.
Champion company initiatives, operational standards, safety, and loss prevention practices while ensuring compliance with company policies and procedures.
Maintain a safe, clean, and organized department while supporting overall store operations, performing physical tasks as needed, and working a flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, holidays, and peak business periods.

What You'll Need to Succeed

Experience with retail operations, including merchandising, inventory management, visual merchandising, customer service, and sales performance.
Strong customer service, communication, interpersonal, and relationship-building skills.
Strong organizational, analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Proficiency with retail technology, point-of-sale (POS) systems, and Microsoft Office applications preferred.
Ability to work a flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, holidays, and peak business periods.

Physical Demands:

Frequent movement throughout the store to access merchandise, assist customers, and support daily operations.
Ability to remain in a stationary position for extended periods.
Frequent lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling of merchandise.
Occasional reaching, bending, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and climbing ladders.
