• Track short-term retail recruiting metrics, ensure ATS data cleanliness, and evaluate process adherence across the field.
• Conduct competitive benchmarking for market compensation, hiring standards, and best-in-class retail TA practices.
• Transition Retail responsibilities as scalable tools, training, and processes become fully operational.

HQ Talent Acquisition (80% initially; long-term primary focus)

• Manage full-cycle recruiting for HQ roles, ensuring a structured, efficient, and elevated candidate experience.

We welcome everyone — and we mean everyone. We believe a diversity of viewpoints, experiences, and backgrounds only serve to make our team stronger, which is why we strongly encourage those from historically and systemically marginalized communities to apply: BIPOC, women, and people in the LGBTQIA+ community, to name a few.

1. Always Innovate, constantly seeking creative ways to improve and drive forward.
