Job description
At Hot Topic, we’re passionate about a few things: music, pop culture and creating the most amazing in-store experience for our customers and employees.
We’re on the search for a Store Manager that will be at the forefront of bringing the fandom to life.

In short, you’re a superhero.

Deliver the goods. You’ll merchandise the store in a compelling way, leveraging planograms as a guide, while launching all promos on time
Ensure that you’re continually building a bench of equally talented, passionate staff
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
At least a year of retail store management experience; you’ve lead teams to success and want to experience more of it. You’ll have skills to pay the bills: communication, recruiting, operations (payroll, reporting, scheduling, merchandising) and be a developer of your peeps
Passion for music, fashion and pop culture
A high school diploma or GED equivalent. If you have a degree, even better
Roll with the punches. Retail is a fast changing industry and you like catching curveballs thrown your way
