About The Position

Comfrt is more than just an apparel brand; we are a mental wellness movement. We specialize in creating high-quality, functional products—like our signature Weighted Zip Hoodie—designed to ease stress, calm anxiety, and provide the "feeling of a hug."

Alongside your visual focus, this role involves overseeing the training, development, and performance management of all store associates, ensuring an exceptional experience for our community, and addressing their needs promptly. The Assistant Visual Store Manager will work closely with the Store Manager to drive sales and profitability through effective management practices and strategic planning, and will collaborate with the retail leadership team to create and implement strategies to reach store goals.
