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.

They also promote store safety by conducting safety walks, reporting hazards, and reinforcing safe work and lifting practices. The supervisor works with leaders to identify approaches and behaviors that support sales and service objectives and communicates best practices to the team. They may supervise associates in other departments as needed, requiring broad product knowledge and the ability to engage associates and customers across departments. The role also involves communicating concerns, issues, praise, and morale to management. The supervisor may occasionally open or close the store or serve as manager on duty.
