• Manage Financial Operations: Oversee financial reporting, manage operating budgets, and monitor sales outcomes for all stores in your assigned area to ensure alignment with corporate goals.

• Develop Sales Action Plans: Analyze sales results and performance reports to develop targeted action plans designed to consistently increase sales productivity.

• Empower and Develop Leaders: Foster leadership qualities in your direct reports, motivating and coaching them to achieve high-performance results while leading geographically dispersed teams.

• Champion Compliance and Culture: Foster a work environment built on purpose-driven behaviors that enable employee engagement while strictly ensuring channel compliance with the Business Code of Conduct and Sales Compensation Plan.

• Drive Customer Retention: Serve as the senior management escalation point for critical customer issues, working cross-functionally with other channels to identify and resolve retention bottlenecks.

• Execute Complex Deliverables: Facilitate meetings, evaluate operational issues, provide solutions, and communicate seamlessly with senior-level executives to drive results against pressing timelines.

What we're looking for:

• Bachelor's degree or four or more years of work experience.

• Six to eight or more years of relevant leadership experience.

• Experience leading geographically dispersed and diverse teams with varying levels of employees and positions.

• Experience facilitating meetings, evaluating issues, providing solutions, and driving against tight timelines.

• Experience creating a clear strategic vision, including short- and long-term brand and business growth strategies, and the actionable steps necessary to execute against that vision.

• Experience organizing, negotiating, and developing staff while adhering to operational models.

• Experience meeting deadlines and managing multiple projects simultaneously.

• Experience communicating with senior-level executives and across different cultures, including communicating complex ideas and processes in a simplified manner to those unfamiliar with the material.

Even better if you have:

• A Master's degree.

• Seven or more years of management experience in a sales environment.

• A history of strong performance in a results-driven environment.

• Strong interpersonal and team-building skills, including the ability to build trust-based relationships and manage effectively.

• The ability to take a structured approach to problem-solving, keeping process-driven issues front of mind.

• The ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, and customer and team-oriented work environment.
