Assistant Store Manager - Old Orchard Center, Skokie, IL

Vineyard Vines • Skokie, IL

296d

About The Position

In 1998, we were stuck behind desk jobs we didn't like … and we were miserable. So we quit. We tossed out business suits for bathing suits, got our wisdom teeth pulled while we still had coverage and signed up for every credit card we could. On the same day, within ten minutes of each other, we walked out of our jobs, grabbed a drink and started chasing the American Dream. Twenty years in and some things have changed, but we're the same at our core. We're still having a ton of fun, hanging with Real Good People, and sharing the gift of the Vineyard with everyone we can. As an Assistant Store Manager, you will help build a fun and inclusive store culture for our Crew with a focus on driving results. You will lead the Crew in the absence of the Store Manager with transparency, while coaching and inspiring them to drive results through engagement and accountability.
