• Communicate inventory discrepancies to Store Support Manager, Buyers, Vendors, Accounts Payable, and Store Leadership as needed.
• Oversee and communicate supply needs for the location.
• Train and develop team members in all back-of-house, e-commerce, and shipment processing duties.
• Provide light support to customers as needed when assisting on the sales floor.
