Assistant Store Manager
Apr 2023 – Mar 2026Second in command of a store running roughly 25 employees, with the reporting, cash and inventory responsibilities that came with it.
- Read daily sales reports and operational KPIs, isolated what was moving the numbers, and fed that back into staffing, ordering and floor priorities.
- Performed cash reconciliations and bank deposits daily, investigating variances and holding the store to company internal-control procedures.
- Managed inventory planning, purchasing and replenishment, trading off availability against the cost of carrying stock that did not turn.
- Participated in inventory audits: reconciled counted stock against system records and stood behind the accuracy of what was reported.
- Supervised and developed five direct reports, building a collaborative, high-performance floor culture.
- Set merchandising to match what the sales data said was actually selling, not what was assumed to sell.
