THE COMPANY

Our client operates a distinctive coastal marketplace and lifestyle retail concept in a small Oregon beach town. The business combines a gourmet market, boutique retail shop, wine store, coffee bar, and hospitality destination into one cohesive experience. Their mission is straightforward: offer exceptional products, deliver genuine hospitality, and create memorable customer experiences.

The store features a curated selection of premium food items, wine, apparel, and locally sourced goods, all within a welcoming environment that serves both locals and visitors.

• Collaborating with culinary leadership to enhance the guest experience

This role requires a hands-on leader who enjoys being actively engaged on the sales floor, interacting with customers, and mentoring team members.

THE QUALIFICATIONS

Ideal candidates will have experience in customer-facing sales environments where service and revenue generation are closely connected.

Strong applicants may come from boutique retail, hospitality, winery retail, specialty food markets, lifestyle brands, or similar industries.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Experience managing retail or hospitality teams
• Demonstrated success in driving sales performance and revenue growth
• Strong customer engagement and relationship-building abilities
• Experience coaching teams on sales and service excellence
• Background in boutique retail, hospitality, or lifestyle brands
• Experience with merchandising, store presentation, or product curation
• Ability to lead in fast-paced, high-touch environments
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a strong sense of ownership
• Comfort operating in a destination or tourism-driven market

Experience in apparel, specialty food, wine, or lifestyle retail is a strong plus.

THE BENEFITS

This opportunity offers both meaningful career impact and a unique lifestyle.

Compensation includes:

• Base salary typically ranging from $65,000–$75,000
• Performance incentives bringing total earnings to approximately $90,000 OTE
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Unlimited PTO with manager approval
• Relocation assistance available
• Temporary housing support for relocating candidates

Beyond compensation, this role offers something truly special—the chance to build and lead a distinctive retail concept while living and working along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the United States.
