This is not a multi-unit manager role with a fancier title. This is an opportunity to own a portfolio of brands and stores end-to-end, driving performance, deepening partnerships, and developing the people who make it all work.

As a Retail Success Manager, you'll be the connective tissue between Leap's operations and the brand executives who trust us with their physical retail presence. You'll toggle between coaching a Store Manager on the floor on a Tuesday and leading a strategic brand review with a founder on Wednesday.

You'll know the P&L as well as you know your team.

• Ownership: You'll run a real portfolio: multiple brands, stores, and the teams who make them successful. The results you drive are visible and yours.
• Impact: High-stakes exposure to the most exciting consumer brands in the market, with a seat at the table on strategy and execution.
• Scale: Operate at the intersection of retail operations, brand partnership, and team leadership in one of the fastest-growing companies in the space.
• Growth: A compelling NYC leadership role for those who want to operate at a high level and build something meaningful.

• Run the Portfolio: Own performance across a portfolio of brands and stores; analyzing data, identifying gaps, and building actionable plans that consistently hit sales, remittance, and profitability targets.
• Develop the Team: Coach and develop Store Managers with a focus on sales, customer experience, and retention. Own the full talent pipeline: recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and ongoing development.
• Drive Brand Success: Serve as the primary relationship owner for brand executives, translating performance data into insights, aligning on strategy, and leading renewal and expansion conversations alongside the Growth team.
• Operate Cross-Functionally: Align internal teams (marketing, merchandising, finance, operations) around what brands need and what stores are seeing. Be the voice that connects the floor to the boardroom.

• Store-level financial, operational, and experience KPIs consistently achieved across your portfolio
• High employee retention, engagement, and a healthy hiring pipeline
• Strong Brand NPS. Brand partners renew, expand, and advocate for Leap
• You're the person brands and internal teams trust to get things done
