Burn Boot Camp is one of the fastest-growing fitness franchises in the nation and has experienced rapid growth since its founding in 2015. We move like our Members - with purpose and fast-paced. We aim to inspire, empower, and transform lives through community-based fitness.

The Director of Retail is the senior leader of Burn Boot Camp's retail division. You own the full commercial and operational scope of the business - active wear, nutrition, customs, e-commerce, B2B Franchise Partner channels, and emerging categories - from annual strategy through daily execution.

This is a leadership role. You set direction, build the plan, manage the vendor ecosystem at a strategic level, and make sure your team and systems execute with precision. You are accountable for outcomes, not for doing the work that belongs to others.

• Strategy and P&L. Annual retail plan, category and channel priorities, revenue forecasts, margin targets, and monthly performance reviews with the COO.
• Product and buying. Category strategy, seasonal buys, and the multi-line planning calendar across active wear, nutrition, Kids Camp, and International.
• Vendors. Strategic relationships, contracts, and performance standards across all retail vendors, including Fabletics and other partnerships.
• Cross-functional partnership. Lead retail's work with Finance, Technology, and Marketing - co-own the retail marketing calendar and the retail technology roadmap, and sequence every major launch.
• Activewear Advisory Committee. Full ownership of governance, facilitation, follow-through, and outcomes.
• SLAs and operations. Define, monitor, and enforce service standards across customs, fulfillment, e-commerce, and Franchise Partner support.
• Franchise Partner experience. End-to-end ownership of how Franchise Partners interact with the retail division.
• Burn Nutrition and innovation. Strategy and performance for the nutrition business, plus a pipeline of new categories, channels, and partnerships.
• Team. Lead and develop the Sr. Activewear Merchandising Manager, Retail Operations Manager, and Brand + Commerce Manager, with clear expectations and real accountability.

• The division runs. Vendors are accountable, SLAs are met, and Franchise Partners get best-in-class service without escalation.
• Finance trusts the numbers. Reporting is accurate and on time, and financial risk is raised before the period closes.
• Launches land. The marketing calendar and retail calendar are one calendar, and no launch is delayed by missing retail inputs.
• The team grows. Every team member is more capable and more accountable than they were 12 months ago.

• 7-10 years of progressive retail leadership, with direct ownership of a P&L and a team.
• A track record of building and executing retail strategy in a franchise, multi-channel, or high-growth environment.
• Strong financial acumen - you can build, own, and explain a retail P&L and drive margin.
• Strategic vendor management experience, including negotiation, contracts, and performance accountability.
• Proven cross-functional leadership with Finance, Technology, and Marketing, including driving outcomes without direct authority.
• Experience with e-commerce platforms, B2B fulfillment, and product lifecycle management.
• Bachelor's degree in business, retail management, or a related field required. MBA or equivalent experience a plus.
• Ability to travel as needed for vendor meetings, events, and Franchise Partner engagement.
