Sales Floor Dept Supervisor - Building Materials
About The Position
All Lowe’s associates deliver quality customer service while maintaining a store that is clean, safe, and stocked with the products our customers need. As a Sales Floor Department Supervisor, this means providing resources and tools to support those directly helping customers provide the best service, assisting with down stocking and area recovery, and providing input into merchandising decisions. It also involves monitoring the use of store power equipment and coaching employees on safe behaviors and lifting techniques. The Sales Floor Department Supervisor is primarily responsible for leading and enabling a team of associates to deliver the best possible customer experience in the store, including coaching, training, delegating, following-up on daily tasks, managing performance, and ensuring adequate department coverage. This role encompasses customer-facing activities (e.g., greeting customers, clarifying needs and identifying solutions, closing sales), non-customer-facing activities (e.g., down stocking, inventory management, area recovery), and store safety (e.g., conducting safety walks, reporting hazards, understanding safety and lifting directions). The Supervisor collaborates with leaders to identify and communicate best practices for sales and service objectives. Additionally, the Sales Floor Department Supervisor must supervise associates in other departments as needed, requiring broad product knowledge and the ability to engage across departments. This associate is expected to communicate upward to keep management informed of concerns, issues, praises, and morale. Occasionally, individuals in this role may open or close the store or serve as manager-on-duty (MOD).
