The Pacific Northwest Shop is a second-generation family-owned retail business. We opened our second store in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood in 2018. We also have a store and warehouse in Tacoma. Our shop specializes in locally made and themed merchandise including home decor, jewelry, food, books, clothing, bath products, paper goods, and children’s items.
We're looking for an enthusiastic and dependable individual with a strong team mentality to join our staff as an Assistant Manager. We look forward to welcoming a new person who will contribute positively to the team. Maturity, energy, initiative, and attention to detail are required! We're committed to diversity and welcome all applicants.
Providing exceptional customer service is a must. Our staff is the face of our business, responsible for greeting customers and making them feel welcome in the store.
Our Assistant Manager is entrusted with overseeing all activities involved in the daily operations of the store. Beyond the usual sales activities, this includes merchandising, stocking, maintenance, and cleaning. We're open seven days a week and all staff members are asked to be available both during the week and on weekends.
An Assistant Manager at Pacific Northwest Shop should be:
- Friendly, outgoing, and comfortable interacting with customers face to face as well as on the phone. Previous experience should include retail work, including gift wrapping.
- Comfortable working on a computer and with a POS system. The Assistant Manager is responsible for running inventory and sales reports, and for coordinating needs with our Tacoma store and warehouse locations.
- Able to take the lead on the store's Facebook and Instagram social media accounts. Ideally, previous experience will include contributing to a third-party's social media activity.
- Skilled in merchandizing. Product deliveries occur multiple times a week, and experience in product presentation is an important prerequisite for the position.
- Capable of staying on your feet for 5- to 8-hour shifts and working in the store alone for extended periods. All staff members should be able to lift up to 25 pounds as well as go up and down a ladder with ease.
- Openly available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. The Assistant Manager is responsible to covering staff call outs.
Previous customer service experience preferred. Job expectations and requirements may evolve over time.
