Store Manager : G-STAR

About the Role

We are seeking an innovative and results-driven Store Manager for our boutique powered by the Leap Platform, coming to Hayes St in San Francisco December 2025.

You will lead with a strategic mindset, developing and executing plans that drive sales, enhance customer interactions, and strengthen community ties. A key part of this role is recruiting and developing a high-performing team through thoughtful hiring, coaching, and performance management. You’ll foster a collaborative, goal-oriented environment by setting clear expectations and leading by example.

As a local market expert, you will use your knowledge of community events and networking opportunities to drive store traffic, client engagement, and brand awareness.

This role may extend beyond your primary location, occasionally supporting other Leap-powered stores within the market. This includes assisting with new store openings, onboarding team members, providing sales floor coverage, or leading community activations.
