Full Job Description

Role Summary

The Retail Operations Manager is the leadership hub of Wilson Plant Co. — present in the work, trusted by the team, and consistently aligned with ownership's vision for what this company is becoming. This role blends ground-level leadership with strategic oversight, ensuring that the daily rhythm of two busy retail locations, a production operation, a café, and a landscape division flows with intention, efficiency, and care. From the first truck of the morning to the final register count, this person holds the pace, the standard, and the culture — growing over time into an extension of ownership in the truest sense of that word.

Role Responsibilities

Leadership & Team Development

Leads department managers with a servant mentality, working alongside them to solve problems, clear obstacles, and set the standard through example rather than direction alone
Fosters a culture of open dialogue, mutual accountability, and investment in each team member's growth — where people feel both challenged and supported
Cultivates a work environment defined by energy, positivity, and shared purpose, actively managing morale and team dynamics as conditions shift across the season
Protects consistent time with direct reports, delivering clear feedback that builds confidence, corrects course early, and supports long-term development

Daily Operations & Execution

Oversees day-to-day operations across both retail locations, ensuring standards of efficiency, safety, customer experience, and presentation are consistently upheld
Manages staff scheduling across departments and locations weekly and with daily adjustments, balancing labor costs with operational needs and seasonal peaks with a strategic eye & practical hand
Maintains a working fluency in the systems, rhythms, and responsibilities of every department to recognize when something is off and move quickly to support the team in correcting it
Manages operational priorities with a weekly and monthly lens, translating company goals into daily and weekly action across the team

Strategic Alignment & Business Growth

Collaborates closely with ownership to understand strategic direction and translate vision into operational reality — building the systems, habits, and team culture that make growth sustainable
Analyzes business performance using available reporting tools, identifying trends and opportunities across departments and presenting informed recommendations to ownership
Approaches resource decisions — labor, time, inventory, capital expenditures — with a company-wide perspective, never optimizing one department at the expense of the whole
Grows continuously into the mindset of an owner: taking initiative, anticipating what's needed before being asked, and making decisions that reflect the long-term interests of the company and its people

Communication & Cross-Department Collaboration

Serves as a primary communication bridge between ownership, department managers, and the broader team — ensuring important information flows clearly and consistently in both directions
Maintains a responsive, proactive communication style with vendors, contractors, and community partners when operational coordination requires it
Contributes to a work culture where hard things are addressed with crucial conversations, with respect and care, rather than allowed to fester or worsen
Provides store-specific observations and operational insights to ownership on a regular basis — not just what's happening, but what it means and what should happen next

Customer Experience & Brand Standards

Models and reinforces customer-first thinking at every level of the operation, from the way a team member greets a guest to the way a transaction is handled at the register
Collaborates with department managers to address customer feedback and service recovery with grace, speed, and a genuine desire to make things right
Ensures retail spaces across both locations meet brand standards for presentation, cleanliness, merchandising, and overall atmosphere — and holds the team accountable for maintaining them

Role Qualifications

3+ years of management experience in retail, nursery, horticulture, or a closely related industry — with a demonstrated track record of leading people and improving operations
Horticulture background required, whether through formal education or hands-on industry experience; this is a non-negotiable foundation for leading our team effectively
Proven ability to manage operations across multiple departments or locations, balancing competing priorities without losing sight of the big picture
Strong instincts for reading people (customers and team members) and adjusting approach accordingly
Physical endurance and comfort with active, outdoor work; this role spends over 75% of time on the floor, in the greenhouse, in the nursery, and in all weather conditions, with regular lifting of 75+ lbs
Valid driver's license with a clean record and ability to pass a physical and obtain a Department of Transportation Medical Examiner's Certificate
Willingness to obtain a Kentucky Retail Pesticide Applicator's License if required

What Makes This Role Different

This isn't a desk job — you're in it, every day, with the team, outdoors, and it's exactly as rewarding as it sounds
You're not just executing someone else's playbook — you're helping build it, with ownership who is interested in your perspective and invested in your growth
The company is at a real inflection point, which means the person who steps into this role gets to help shape what it becomes, not just maintain what it is
No two days look the same: two locations, a café, a butterfly house, a landscape division, a production operation, and a team full of people who actually care — there is always something interesting happening here
