Job Description

As an Orvis Retail Fishing Manager, you support the Store Manager in recruiting, developing, and encouraging the team of associates to inspire customers to love the adventure and wonder in nature. You oversee all aspects of the fly-fishing department, where the soul of the brand comes to life. As a sales floor leader, you embody Orvis core values as you deliver world-class customer service, whether it is outfitting a customer for the trip of a lifetime or teaching a group of new fly fishers how to cast for the first time. Your relationship with the community is not bound within the walls of the store - you actively engage fly fishers of all skill levels through education, support, and genuine enthusiasm.

We offer a retail career experience like no other. Our people are our most valuable asset and we empower our associates to take care of the customer and exceed expectations. To be at their best, we also recognize that our associates need time to recharge and connect with nature.

  • Medical, vision, and dental coverage
  • 401(k) savings plan
  • Paid time off and holiday pay
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Generous associate discount, including discount opportunities with other brands
  • Incentives for travel
  • Rod loaner program

Your Role

  • You empower your team to deliver world-class customer service through empathy, critical thinking, and customer centricity
  • You are an ambassador of the brand, aligned with the Orvis Vision, Mission, Core Values, and Culture
  • You have in-depth knowledge of our products and services and serve as point person for training fly fishing associates on technical product knowledge, rigging, and instruction
  • You lead by example as a sales professional, engaging customers in all departments throughout the store
  • You are entrepreneurial and able to leverage assets across Orvis’ omnichannel retail platform
  • You communicate the Orvis brand and its lifestyle through creative and effective presentations, maintain visual standards, and maximize sell-thru by product placement and signage
  • In coordination with the Store Manager, you recruit, develop, train, and coach associates who are bought into the company’s vision and mission, and create a pathway for growth

We are looking for

  • Independent leaders who can learn on the fly, demonstrate integrity and mutual respect, and create a fun and energetic store vibe
  • Passion for the outdoors with strong expertise in fly fishing and fly tying, and a love for sharing knowledge
  • Excellent retail business acumen including selling skills, visual presentation, and sales analysis
  • Ability to handle ambiguity, use sound judgement, and solve problems for customers and associates
  • Up-to-date computer skills with the aptitude to learn and utilize business programs as well as the ability to teach these programs to the team
  • Physical strength to reach, move, and handle merchandise in high and low areas, lift up to 30 pounds, and the stamina to execute floor sets
  • Physical ability to be on feet (standing/walking) for extended periods of time
