• Ensure consistent compliance with policies, brand standards, and safety protocols across all locations
• Collaborate with Marketing, Merchandising, Supply Chain, and Finance on promotions, inventory, and process improvements

• Oversee daily scheduling, cash and inventory management, visual merchandising, and compliance

• Comfortable with scheduling, inventory systems, and financial reporting
• Comfortable with frequent travel between Iowa City, Waterloo, and Council Bluffs; flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays
• 100% in-office commitment across locations — this is not a remote role
• High level of integrity, personal motivation, adaptability, and sense of urgency
• Commitment to maintaining confidentiality and managing sensitive information
• Must report to work sober at all times
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, climb, and lift up to 50 lbs regularly (up to 200 lbs with assistance), with or without reasonable accommodation
