Retail Sales Manager (Camping) - Full-Time

Scheels

9d

About The Position

Turn your passion for the outdoors, sports, or fashion into a world-class
career.

At SCHEELS, we don’t just sell gear—we live it. As a leader in the sporting
goods industry, we are driven to create the best experience in the USA for our
customers. We empower our associates to become true experts through extensive
product training, mentorship, and professional development. If you "walk the
walk" and love helping others find their next favorite hobby, you belong at
SCHEELS.

We are looking for a Camping Manager who brings real-world experience and a
deep, personal understanding of the equipment they lead. Whether you are a
dedicated backpacker or a backcountry hunter who hauls their gear deep into the
wilderness, your "out in the wild" expertise is exactly what our customers
need.

Requirements

• The Backcountry Veteran: You are a true backpacker or backcountry hunter. You understand the "ounces equal pounds" philosophy and have first-hand experience with what it takes to stay warm, dry, and fueled in remote terrain.
• Authentic Experience: You don’t need a manual to explain technical gear—you speak from experience. Your credibility comes from years of mountain miles, not just product training videos.
• Culture Fit: You arrive early (10 minutes is our standard!), bring high energy, and have a genuine desire to help others.
• Skills: Basic math and communication skills are essential for sales and reporting.
• Physicality: This is a "heavy work" role. You should be comfortable standing, walking, and occasionally lifting/moving up to 100 lbs.
• Education: High school diploma (or GED) and 1–3 months of related experience are preferred.
• Candidate must be at least 18 years of age.

Responsibilities

• Be the Expert: Provide unmatched customer service by sharing deep product knowledge and helping customers find exactly what they need.
• Drive the Business: Meet personal sales goals, analyze inventory trends, and make decisions on merchandise arrangements to keep our floors looking world-class.
• Own the Floor: Maintain a professional environment by stocking merchandise, setting up eye-catching displays, and collaborating with vendors.
• Never Stop Learning: Participate in weekly product knowledge meetings and facilitate training for your peers.

Benefits

• Become an Owner: Join our 100% Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) at no cost to you. You'll start earning ownership after your first year (1,000 hours) and become fully vested in just three years. Continue to build wealth with 401(k) options (eligible after your first quarter).
• Comprehensive Health Support: We invest in your wellbeing by paying 75% of your health plan premium, contributing directly to your HSA, and offer a full insurance suite including Dental, Vision, and Accident/Hospital Indemnity. These benefits kick in quickly—starting the first of the month following your first 60 days.
• Balance & Support: Enjoy 15 days of PTO (prorated based on your start date) and 6 paid holidays, plus maternity, parental, and bereavement pay.
• Best Discount in Retail: Access our "famous" associate discount on the premium brands you love.
• Community Impact: Get paid to give back! Beyond monthly paid volunteer time, you’ll receive $500 annually to donate to a charity of your choice.
