About The Position

The Sales Floor Department Supervisor leads and enables a team of associates to deliver a strong customer experience. The role involves coaching and training associates, delegating and following up on daily tasks, managing performance, and ensuring adequate department coverage.

The supervisor works with leaders to identify approaches that meet sales and service objectives and communicates effective practices to the team. They may supervise associates in other departments as store needs require, which calls for broad product knowledge and the ability to engage associates and customers across departments. The role also requires communicating concerns, issues, praise, and morale to management. The supervisor may occasionally open or close the store or serve as manager-on-duty. Regular travel is not required, though occasional travel to meetings, training, or neighboring stores may be needed.
