Slingshot LLC • Oklahoma City, OK

6d • $45,000 - $50,000 • Onsite

About The Position

The Campus Store Manager plays a vital role on our partners’ campuses. They are Slingshot employees, but we want them to be integrated into the campus community. A manager needs to be able to communicate with and foster relationships with leadership on campus while also serving students and faculty. We want managers to be the on-campus point of contact for anything related to course materials. Managers are advocates on campus and the link between the school and our company. A manager’s job is busy with books, merchandise, meetings, and student workers but there are ebbs and flows that follow the higher ed calendar. We have times where things are very busy and times that are quiet. The stores have regular hours, but we do expect stores to open for special events like homecoming, graduation, some sporting events, and other on campus events. We are seeking candidates who excel in a fast-paced setting and can handle a heavy workload during peak seasons. During busy periods, managers are expected to lead a team in fulfilling hundreds of orders while consistently meeting daily targets. Our managers need to be focused on customer service but also have grit and a great problem-solving ability. We are looking for candidates who can see how and why the processes work while also paying attention to the small details of the daily operation. Successful managers thrive on relationships and like to have fun amidst chaos. Finally, the ideal candidate is open to learning, can think quickly, delegate, and take ownership of the store.
