Pet Shop Assistant Manager – Specialty Pet Retail & Nutrition (Austin, TX)

Help dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives—by leading a team that truly cares.

Paws on Chicon is a locally owned, nationally recognized specialty pet food & supply company built around one mission: helping pets live their best and longest lives through better nutrition and education. Yelp recognized us as one of the Top 100 Local Businesses in the USA for 2024, and we continue to grow thoughtfully across Austin.

We are seeking an experienced Assistant Manager with a background in specialty retail who is ready to lead a team with confidence, integrity, and hands-on involvement.

Have retail management experience, ideally in a specialty or independent pet store
Lead from the floor and aren’t afraid to be hands-on
Enjoy training, coaching, and developing people
Know how to set clear expectations and hold a team accountable
Care deeply about customer experience and education-based selling
Are organized, detail-oriented, and operationally strong
Thrive in a fast-paced retail environment
Take pride in being reliable, prepared, and professional

What You’ll Do:

Assist in leading daily store operations, including sales, staffing, merchandising, and inventory
Train and coach team members to sell using our education-first, nutrition-focused approach
Maintain high standards for cleanliness, merchandising, and organization
Receive and process shipments; restock and merchandise product
Serve customers directly—asking thoughtful questions and guiding product selection
Support customer loyalty through enrollment in our free rewards program
Make and serve our in-house doggy & kitty froyo
Model professionalism, teamwork, and leadership every day

Specialty Pet Retail & Nutrition Experience (Highly Valued):

Experience discussing pet food ingredients, sourcing, and quality
Comfort guiding customers and staff through food transitions
Familiarity with dry, wet, frozen, freeze-dried, or raw diets
Knowledge of supplements and holistic wellness products
Commitment to trust-based, consultative selling—not pressure tactics

Qualifications:

Minimum 2 years of retail sales experience
Minimum 1 years of supervisory or management experience
Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills
Experience with scheduling, POS systems, cash handling, and inventory
Ability to lift and stock large bags of pet food
Ability to work a full-time schedule in a retail environment

What We Offer:

Starting pay from $18.75 - $20.00/hour, based on experience
Full-time (35+ hours/week)
Paid overtime
Weekly pay
Free monthly pet food
Generous employee discount
Profit sharing
Paid time off
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with 5% employer match
Leadership support and opportunities for advancement within a growing local company
