About The Position

As an Assistant Store Manager, you will be the first face of the brand for growing families. You’ll congratulate new parents and grandparents, introduce them to our new baby essentials, help prep them for the first day of school, and all the big and little moments on their parenting journey. We're looking for a leader who fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment, values and optimizes skills and talents, and continually educates themselves and others on product styles, features, and benefits. Carter’s Inc. is the largest North American apparel retailer exclusively for babies and young children, encompassing Carter’s, OshKosh B’gosh, SkipHop, and Little Planet brands. Carter’s is the #1 most-purchased children’s clothing brand. We’ve become an industry leader by providing quality — from the first Original Bodysuit® to the lasting careers we offer our team. We’ve kept our close-knit culture since our founding, and we invest in our teams with training and development programs, so we all succeed together. A Carter’s career doesn’t feel like a job. It feels like connections, between customers, teams, and families. Caring, teamwork, flexibility, and growth are what make us different.
