Operations Manager

EQ3 was born in opposition to trends, vowing instead to focus on timeless designs. We make furniture not fast, but to last. Our greatest hope is to have our pieces passed down like heirlooms. We pride ourselves on being innovators in our industry, and we believe that the more voices and choices we incorporate into our perspective, the better we’re able to find creative solutions for modern life. Everything we do is made in consideration of people, of the planet and of our space.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, collaborative individual to join our Retail Team as an Operations Manager.

THE DETAILS:

You’ll be joining our Polo Park team at 1485 Portage Ave, in a full-time capacity.

1. You’ll keep the stock room organized, adjusting shelving to make way for new items, and replenishing items as the need arises.
2. You’ll work with Shipping and Receiving to help process shipments, review them for accuracy, keep inventory, and ensure items are properly price tagged before going to the floor.
3. You’ll be responsible for managing, coaching, and recruiting for the Stock Associate team.
4. You’ll work closely with the visual coordinator to create a dynamic, visually appealing storefront and maintain standards for merchandise presentation, signage and general housekeeping.

1. Two (2) years of Retail Management experience is preferred; a combination of education and experience may be considered.
