Compensation: Starting wage is $21/hour. Additional compensation details will be discussed during the interview.

Schedule: Full-time (4 days/week, 10-hour shifts)

Location: Alta, Utah (In Person)

Seasonal Position with the opportunity to transition into a year-round leadership role based on performance and business needs.

About the Role

The Hardgoods Buyer is a hybrid leadership position responsible for overseeing the hardgoods department while working alongside the Head Buyer to execute seasonal purchasing strategies. This role combines retail leadership, inventory management, merchandising, vendor relations, purchasing, sales analysis, technical product knowledge, and team leadership.

Approximately half of your week will be spent leading daily retail operations, supporting employees, and helping customers with skis, bindings, demo equipment, and technical product recommendations. The remainder of your time will focus on inventory planning, purchase orders, vendor communication, demo fleet management, rental operations, sales reporting, and department administration.

We're looking for someone who naturally takes initiative, enjoys solving problems, and is confident making independent decisions. The ideal candidate has extensive knowledge of alpine ski equipment, strong bootfitting experience, exceptional organizational skills, and the ability to lead a team while maintaining high standards for customer service, safety, and shop operations.

If you're passionate about skiing, enjoy working with numbers and inventory, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and take pride in building an organized, efficient department, we'd love to hear from you.

Benefits include: Complimentary ski pass, employee discounts, health insurance eligibility after one year, retirement plan eligibility after two years, and opportunities for year-round growth within Powder House and Boot Solutions.
