Rice’s Gift Gallery is looking for a Manager to lead our department, serve our customers, and grow our team. This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who can build the business while building the people in it — pouring into our team members so they can grow professionally and live lives of purpose and service.

This is an experienced leadership position, not an entry‑level role. We are looking for a proven retail leader who has run a department or store, managed a team, and owned results. If that’s you, we’d love to meet you.

• Leading the Gift Gallery with positive, energetic, hands‑on leadership
• Purchasing and buying — selecting merchandise our customers will love and keeping the floor fresh
• Managing inventory — ordering, receiving, stocking, pricing, and controlling shrink
• Driving sales and creating an inviting, beautifully merchandised store
• Building and growing our online sales presence — e‑commerce, social media, and digital marketing
• Hiring, scheduling, and staffing the department to serve our customers well
• Training, coaching, and developing team members — growing them professionally and personally
• Building a team culture of kindness, ownership, and excellence
• Building relationships with our customers and assisting with product selection and gift registries
• Being a source of kindness for all customers
• Overseeing point of sale operations and cash drawer management
• Setting goals for the department and the team and leading the way to reach them

• 2+ years of retail management or supervisory experience (department manager, store manager, assistant manager, or similar)
• Proven experience directly hiring, scheduling, training, and leading a team of employees
• Hands‑on experience with purchasing, buying, or merchandising for a department or store
• Experience managing inventory — ordering, receiving, pricing, and loss prevention
• A track record of driving sales and being accountable for results
• Technically capable — comfortable building and managing an online sales presence (e‑commerce platform, social media, and digital marketing)
• Strong organizational skills and comfort with point of sale and basic retail reporting

• A positive, energetic attitude that motivates and encourages others
• A heart for developing people and growing a team
• Background in gift, home décor, boutique, or specialty retail
• Experience running an online store (Shopify, Square, Big Commerce, or similar) and growing sales through social media
• Excellent relational and verbal communication skills with people of all ages
• Ability to serve all types of people with kindness
