Job Description

Entry Level Bookstore Manager Location Schaumburg, IL :

Job Summary

This is a demanding but rewarding full-time position that involves managing every aspect of store operations at a specific location.

Typically there is only one manager per store except in rare circumstances. Store managers report to the corporate General Manager, yet they have a great deal of autonomy and are encouraged to take ownership of their stores. Every Barbara's store has its own unique flavor, size, shape, traffic patterns, and customer base. The manager must always strive to better serve the community that the store calls home. Some locations frequently host events (such as author appearances) and managers are required to prepare for and staff these events.

Responsibilities and Duties

Managers are responsible for hiring and scheduling booksellers. They have to ensure that the basic functions of the bookstore are performed properly. That includes communicating regularly with our central offices and providing necessary financial and sales information. Also, the manager is responsible for doing some of the buying for the store. Buying is done at both the store level as well as centrally, so this requires careful coordination of efforts. Great job for empty nesters.

Qualifications and Skills

What we're looking for: We expect our managers to be well-rounded individuals who are capable of responding to the many challenges of this role. Successful store managers are excellent communicators, self-motivated, independent, creative, and detail-oriented. Retail experience is required. Bookstore experience is beneficial but not required.
