Paint Department Manager
We’re looking for someone who wants full ownership of a department and takes pride in building something that runs properly.
You’ll lead the paint department end-to-end: people, inventory, vendors, customer experience, and results. If you like accountability, high standards, and being trusted to make decisions — you’ll like this role. If you need micromanagement, you won’t.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Owning the customer and contractor experience in the paint department
- Building and maintaining strong vendor relationships to ensure best-in-market acquisition costs
- Hiring, training, coaching, and holding your team to a high standard
- Running the department like a business: inventory accuracy, merchandising, cleanliness, and flow
- Using our POS system to manage pricing, ordering, and inventory intelligently
- Hitting (and beating) department sales and margin targets
- Working closely with senior management on initiatives that actually move the needle
What We’re Looking For
- Proven leadership — you’ve led people and aren’t afraid of accountability
- Strong communication skills and genuine comfort dealing with customers and contractors
- Commercial mindset: you understand that pricing, inventory, and service all matter
- High personal standards — you notice what others ignore
- Comfortable with systems (Windows, Excel, Word; POS experience is a plus)
- Paint experience is an asset,but not required — we care more about how you think and lead
- Physically capable of the role (lifting up to 35 lbs, ladders, retail environment)
