Vice President of Retail Operations

Location: Bar Harbor

Pro Search is proud to partner with The Acadia Corporation in Bar Harbor, Maine to identify an experienced, strategic, and hands-on VP of Retail Operations. This is a rare opportunity to lead a multi-location retail operation in one of the most iconic tourism destinations in New England, serving visitors to Acadia National Park and the surrounding coastal communities. If you are an accomplished leader with experience in tourism, retail, or multi-site operations, and you thrive in a fast-paced, seasonal environment while building high-performing teams, we invite you to explore this impactful leadership role.

About the Role The VP of Retail Operations will oversee all aspects of retail operations, financial performance, and strategic growth across multiple store locations. Reporting directly to the President and serving on the senior leadership team, this individual will play a critical role in guiding budgeting, forecasting, merchandising strategy, and operational excellence. This is both a strategic and operational leadership role.

You will shape long-term direction while staying closely connected to day-to-day performance in a dynamic, visitor-driven market. Why This Opportunity Stands Out This is more than a leader role. It is an opportunity to lead a respected retail organization at the heart of Maine’s tourism economy. You will influence strategy, shape culture, and guide performance in a community that welcomes visitors from around the world each year.

We are particularly interested in leaders who have built their careers within tourism-focused retail, national park concessions, or multi-site hospitality environments, and who are excited to bring that experience into a vibrant coastal destination.
