Full Job Description

Michigan Nature Co. | Rockford, MI
Part-Time / Fractional | 3-Month Pilot | $2,000/month retainer

Michigan Nature Co. is looking for a part-time Fractional Retail Strategy & Operations Lead to help guide the next phase of our Rockford storefront.

This is not a traditional store manager role, and it is not a passive consulting role. We are looking for a part-time strategic operator — someone who can help plan ahead, create momentum, improve the store experience, and most importantly, make sure ideas actually turn into action.

Our vision is to become a consumer-obsessed experience brand — one that deeply understands our customers, creates moments they love, and builds products, events, and community connections that keep them coming back.

The right person will bring a strong mix of retail strategy, merchandising, event planning, local visibility, and operational follow-through. They should be able to think outside the box, but also know how to execute: building plans, assigning next steps, following through, measuring what worked, and making sure the store is consistently moving forward.

This role is for someone who can see the opportunity, shape the plan, and drive the execution — not just suggest ideas from the sidelines.

Role Overview

The Fractional Retail Strategy & Operations Lead will help bridge the gap between ownership vision and store-level execution.

This person will help identify what needs to happen, build plans around those priorities, coordinate with the store team, and follow up to ensure work gets completed.

This role is ideal for someone who can think like an owner, operate independently, and bring structure without overcomplicating things.

Key Responsibilities

Retail Strategy & Planning

Develop monthly retail priorities for the storefront
Help plan seasonal themes, product focuses, displays, and customer experience improvements
Identify opportunities to increase foot traffic, sales, and local visibility
Bring proactive ideas for store growth, events, partnerships, and promotions
Help ownership prioritize what matters most each month

Merchandising & Store Experience

Lead merchandising direction for seasonal displays and product placement
Recommend store layout, flow, and visual improvements
Ensure the store feels fresh, intentional, and aligned with the brand
Create simple merchandising plans the store team can execute
Identify underutilized products, displays, or areas of the store

Events & Community Visibility

Build and maintain a monthly/seasonal event and visibility calendar
Plan in-store events, pop-ups, collaborations, workshops, and community moments
Coordinate event details, timelines, and task lists
Identify local partnership opportunities
Help ensure events are promoted and executed well

Execution & Follow-Through

Translate ideas into clear action plans, owners, and deadlines
Coordinate with the store manager/team to move priorities forward
Follow up on assigned tasks and ensure completion
Escalate decisions, roadblocks, or needs to ownership
Provide simple monthly recaps of what was completed, what is next, and what needs attention

What This Role Is / Is Not

This role is:

A part-time strategic operator
A planner and executor
A merchandising and retail experience lead
A partner to ownership
A driver of follow-through

This role is not:

A full-time store manager role
A passive advisory-only consultant role
A daily staffing role
A role with authority to make major spending or hiring decisions without approval

Ideal Background

The ideal candidate may have experience in:

Boutique retail management
Visual merchandising
Retail operations
Event planning
Small business growth
Local marketing/community partnerships
Lifestyle, gift, apparel, home, coffee, candle, or maker-based retail

Ideal Candidate

You may be a great fit if you are:

Creative but practical
Strategic but hands-on
Highly organized
Strong at follow-through
Comfortable working independently
Able to turn ideas into clear next steps
Experienced in making retail spaces feel intentional and shoppable
Excited by local business, community, and brand-building
Comfortable giving direction while partnering respectfully with an existing store team

Time Commitment & Compensation

$2,000/month for 30 hours/month
Term: Initial 3-month pilot, with potential to extend
Location: Hybrid, with regular in-store time in Rockford, MI
Additional Hours: Must be approved in advance.

Expected Monthly Rhythm

Weekly check-in with ownership
Weekly task follow-up with store team/store manager
Two in-store visits per month
Monthly merchandising and store priority plan
Monthly event/visibility plan
Monthly recap of completed work, upcoming priorities, and decisions needed

Success Looks Like

After 90 days, success would look like:

The store feels more intentional, seasonal, and shoppable
Events and promotions are planned ahead instead of last-minute
Store priorities are clear and actually getting completed
The store team has better direction and follow-through
Local visibility and community engagement have increased
Ownership has a stronger partner helping move the business forward

To Apply

Please send your resume, a brief note about your relevant retail/merchandising/event experience, and a few examples of stores, brands, events, or retail experiences you have helped improve or create to [email protected].

Pay: $2,000.00 per month

Benefits:

Flexible schedule

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Rockford, MI 49341
