Retail Store Manager

Audicus is an innovative health-tech company. We are changing the hearing aid industry with a leading tele-health solution that streamlines the hearing care experience from user testing to product delivery - both for consumers and providers.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Sales Manager to join our amazing team of mission-driven individuals. The role will be responsible for managing our Hearing Center located in a prominent and bustling big box retailer. The role will be a "player-coach" role and will be expected to staff the Hearing Center and engage in-store customer traffic and educate potential customers about our hearing solutions to enable them live more connected and empowered lives. It's a consultative sales process that involves on-the-feet problem solving, empathy and tenacity.

The role is perfect for an energetic, empathetic self-starter with direct selling and retail management experience looking for the next challenge, who genuinely enjoys interacting with people and wants to play a vital role in a fast-growing startup. The role involves building relationships through multiple touch-points and delivering an exceptional experience at every point along the way.
