  • Create a sense of belonging and teamwork by modeling positivity, curiosity, empathy, and accountability
  • Deliver real-time coaching in the moment to strengthen service delivery, guest connection, and operational standards
  • Lead interactive trainings, role-play sessions, selling workshops, and development classes that spark confidence and enthusiasm
  • Partner with the General Manager to help drive business goals, celebrate progress, and identify opportunities for growth
  • Anticipate guest needs and ensure experiences feel effortless, thoughtful, and memorable
  • Engage guests personally, build rapport, and create memorable experiences that keep them returning
  • Uphold Burke Williams brand standards in presentation, cleanliness, service, and overall service excellence through walkthroughs and follow-through
  • Create innovative approaches to motivation, culture building, and team development
  • Utilize guest feedback and use insights to continuously elevate service excellence
  • Recognize high performance boldly and creatively, while offering development and support where improvement is needed

Key Skills and Attributes

  • Natural relationship-builder who thrives on floor presence, conversation, coaching, development and collaboration
  • Experience in leadership, guest service, retail, wellness, or similar guest-centric environments
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to inspire, listen actively, and provide constructive feedback
  • Demonstrated ability to motivate teams, drive engagement, and cultivate a positive workplace culture
  • Creative problem solver who brings enthusiasm, curiosity, and resourcefulness to daily challenges
  • Comfortable leading trainings, facilitating group discussions, and mentoring individuals at all levels
  • Ability to prioritize, pivot, and maintain composure in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
  • Strong sense of accountability, follow-through, integrity, and professional maturity
  • Unwavering desire to uphold brand standards and consistent service excellence
