We are excited to open a store in Washington DC early in 2010. We’re in the process of thoughtfully restoring our new home at 14th and T and look forward to being an integral part of the Logan Circle neighborhood. With anticipate annual sales of 25 million and a team of 30 professionals, we are looking for a dynamic Retail Market Manger to lead us through our store opening and build a robust business. Our ideal candidate understands the DC market as well as the world around them. They are gifted at cultivating our culture and creating extraordinary experiences for our customer. Our Retail Market Managers take complete responsibility for the financial success of their market. They lead the planning process; their results are not dictated to them from a corporate office. They are keen merchants and leverage Room & Board's assortment to meet the needs of their customer. They are also brand ambassadors and execute strategies to build market share. All Room & Board leaders have a passion for mid century/modernism design. They love the fast pace retail and enjoy managing a diverse team of sales/design professionals in a non-commissioned environment. They lead with values and principles, not rules. They build meaningful relationships with others and believe that collaboration is more important than competition. Given the scope and expectations of this role we are seeking someone with a minimum of 10 years retail leadership experience, ideally in a multiunit capacity. Many talented multi until leaders have left the unreasonable pace of their role for equal challenges, autonomy and rewards. They have found renewed inspiration and fulfillment with Room & Board.
