Seasonal Store Manager (101-03)
About The Position
The Seasonal Store Manager, employed by Noor Staffing Group and representing Hickory Farms, leads the day-to-day operations and performance of one or more seasonal retail locations. The role includes meeting sales goals, managing staff, executing visual merchandising, ensuring inventory accuracy, preventing loss, and maintaining compliance with company and operational standards. The manager drives customer experiences, leads by example, and develops a high-performing sales team, requiring flexibility, availability, and proactive problem-solving. The schedule is based on business needs. Following Thanksgiving, managers are expected to work at least 32 hours per week when sales volume supports the additional labor expense, with additional hours as needed. They must be available for all required shifts—including evenings, weekends, and holidays—and able to travel to the store on short notice, including off-hours, to address operational needs. Local travel to other store locations may also be required. This is a seasonal position in a fast-paced, high-traffic retail environment, primarily in a mall. The job involves constant movement, standing, and customer interaction; exposure to weather and hot or cold temperatures during restocking and freezer access; and occasional travel to other locations. The role is not eligible for medical or other company-sponsored benefits except where required by law. Seasonal employees receive 30% off Hickory Farms products.
