Store Manager —

Dinghy Sailing Specialty Shop Location:

West Yarmouth, Ma. In-store, full-time

Schedule:

40 hours/week, in-store presence required About the Role We're a specialty retail shop serving the dinghy sailing community — think Optis, ILCAs, C420's and the gear, apparel, and hardware that keep sailors on the water. We're looking for a hands-on Store Manager who loves being on the sales floor, knows how to run a tight ship (pun intended), and can keep both the customer experience and the backoffice humming. This is a seasonal-intensive business — our biggest months are May, June, July, and August, so we need someone who's ready to be fully present and engaged during peak season, with a steadier pace through the fall and winter. What You'll Do Front-of-House & Sales Own the retail floor: greet customers, understand their needs, and turn browsers into buyers Maintain and refresh merchandising — seasonal displays, moving slow-movers to more visible spots, keeping the shop looking sharp Build relationships with our regular dingy sailing customers and the broader New England dinghy sailing community Customer Support Answer questions on gear, sizing, rigging, and outrigging for a range of boat classes Handle online order inquiries, returns, and troubleshooting with a customer-first attitude Staff Coordination Schedule and coordinate part-time and weekend staff Train new hires on product knowledge and customer service standards Be a visible, present leader on the floor — our sales consistently improve when management is physically in the shop Back Office Light inventory management and reordering Basic sales tracking and reporting Coordinate with ownership on regatta and event scheduling to ensure proper store coverage Who You Are Retail or customer service experience required; sailing/dinghy sailing knowledge preferred, but we are happy to train the right individual. Comfortable wearing multiple hats — sales one minute, inventory the next, training a new hire after that Reliable, present, and able to commit to a full-time, in-store schedule, especially during peak summer season Organized enough to juggle scheduling and light back-office admin without dropping the ball on customers A genuine interest in sailing and the sailing community is a big plus Who We Are US One-Design is the largest specialty dinghy store in the United States, with locations in Annapolis, MD and Cape Cod, MA. As the manufacturer of the McLaughlin Opti and the distributor of Devoti ILCAs, C420s, and Finns, we work closely with sailors, community sailing programs, coaches, and yacht clubs to keep the dinghy sailing community equipped and on the water. Why Join Us You'll be at the center of a passionate, tight-knit sailing community — helping outfit the next generation of Opti, ILCA and C420 sailors If you love retail and want ownership over how a shop runs, we'd love to talk.
