About The Position

Cotopaxi makes adventure travel gear to empower people to see the world and make it better. As a Certified B Corporation, their Gear for Good® promise drives everything they do - from ethical and sustainable sourcing to products built to last and create lasting change. Through the Cotopaxi Foundation, they dedicate 1% of their revenue to nonprofits that fight poverty and support communities in need. Their team is full of passionate, curious, and mission-driven people who love adventure and believe business can be a force for good. Whether working from a retail shop, HQ, home, or a van in the woods, you’ll find connection, collaboration, and a shared drive to make a difference. This isn’t your average retail channel. Their brick & mortar stores are hubs for connection, inspiration, and adventure. They view profit as a byproduct of good conversation where every guest interaction is a chance to create meaningful connections and experiences that are more personal, inclusive, and impactful. Whether kitting someone out for their first outdoor adventure or outfitting a regular with their newest gear, the ideal candidate thrives off of creating fireside moments that further integrate them intentionally within the local community. As the Assistant Store Manager, they partner closely with the Store Manager to build and coach a best-in-class team, drive daily operations, and create a vibrant store culture where every guest and Guide feels seen, supported, and inspired. Whether on the floor leading by example or behind the scenes fine-tuning processes, they lead with purpose and clarity, cultivate a strong sense of ownership, and show up with consistency. They know how to keep the energy high, the team aligned, and the store running smoothly. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on connection, builds trust through action, and loves growing others. If you're excited by Cotopaxi's mission, energized by people, and ready to continue building something meaningful in Murray, they encourage you to apply.
