Retail Store Manager (Backcountry Outlet)

CSC Generation • Millcreek, UT

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Backcountry Outlet is a new retail division built on a simple idea: expert gear guidance paired with accessible pricing. It’s a place where seasoned skiers, first-time mountain bikers, and families alike can confidently gear up for what’s next. Our stores are powered by Gearheads who live the lifestyle—skiing, riding, hiking, and climbing—and bring that credibility to every customer interaction. This isn’t transactional retail; it’s about connecting people to the right gear, providing expert ski, snowboard, and bike services, and creating a reason to come back.
Role Overview:
As Store Manager, you’ll oversee all operations of a Backcountry Outlet location, owning both business results and the customer experience. You’ll drive sales, rentals, service (including ski, snowboard, and bike services), and team development while setting the standard for operational excellence, expertise, and accountability.
