@lauramaxey
Retail store manager driving sales growth and operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven retail store manager with a strong track record of turning around high-volume, challenging locations and improving customer experience. At Five Below I implemented systems to reduce shrink and boost service, achieving a 22-point increase in NPS and a 15% sales gain year-over-year.
Previously I led a Hot Topic location to reverse a five-year declining sales trend, developed multiple sales associates into management (including one who became a District Manager), and maintain strengths in team building, recruitment, training, payroll budgeting and financial analysis.
