What are retail management jobs?

Retail management jobs begin with store managers, who are the first line managers at a location. Their responsibilities are to oversee a specific department or, in smaller stores, a shift during working hours. They provide customer service, help out at the register, go over accounting and bookkeeping statements, and perform routine performance reviews. Regional managers’ duties are to oversee the store managers and provide advice and guidance related to sales, human resources, and loss protection. There are also numerous specializations in retail management, such as managers who focus on training, operations, merchandising, or marketing.
