Job description

WHY JOIN ALO?
Mindful movement. It's at the core of why we do what we do at ALO-it's our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better.

  • Future planning workflow business needs to protect optimal performance

People Leader
  • Ensure that the Visual team exudes ALO's mission and guiding principles to effectively communicate to our guests who we are, what we do and why we do what we do
  • Leads a team through accountability, continuous coaching, development of talent, and elevating effective communication throughout the Operations and Visual team
  • Establish internal & external pipeline through succession planning and recruitment strategy

Flow Experience Leader
  • Oversees the execution of deliverables on sales floor, achieving KPI's, while protecting operational efficiency and visual sets
  • Collaborates and implements General/Store Manager's vision and work cross-functionally with business partners, as directed, to support organizational goals and to achieve visual and sales floor KPI's
  • Demonstrate an ability to navigate the organization with a balance of business need and brand culture

Visual Manager Qualifications
  • 3-5 years of retail or related industry leadership experience
  • Working knowledge of MS Office (Word, Excel and Outlook)
  • Extraordinary interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written
