About The Position

The Sales Floor Department Supervisor leads and enables a team of associates to deliver a strong customer experience. The role includes coaching and training associates, delegating and following up on daily tasks, managing performance, and ensuring adequate department coverage. The supervisor oversees customer-facing work such as greeting customers, identifying needs and solutions, and closing sales, as well as non-customer-facing work such as down stocking, inventory management, and area recovery. The role also promotes store safety through safety walks, hazard reporting, and reinforcement of safety and lifting procedures. The supervisor works with leaders to identify approaches that support sales and service objectives and communicates best practices to the team. They may supervise associates in other departments as store needs require, so broad product knowledge and the ability to engage associates and customers across departments are important. The supervisor communicates concerns, issues, praise, and morale to management. They may occasionally open or close the store or serve as manager on duty. Regular travel is not required, though occasional travel to meetings, trainings, or neighboring stores may be needed.
