Hearts for the Homeless is seeking a driven and accountable Multi-Site Retail Operations Manager to lead the day-to-day performance of our growing thrift store business unit. Reporting directly to the President & CEO, this role provides leadership and accountability to Store Supervisors while overseeing operational performance across three retail locations, a centralized processing warehouse, approximately 50 team members, and a growing multi-million-dollar thrift store business unit. The thrift and resale industry continues to experience strong growth as consumers increasingly seek value, sustainability, and reuse.

The successful candidate will coach, support, and hold Store Supervisors accountable while helping them grow as managers, leaders, and operators. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing people leadership, operational accountability, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. At Hearts for the Homeless, our thrift stores do more than sell donated goods.
