Operations Lead — Full Time

Whale Tales Archery

We're not your average archery shop — and we're not looking for an average Operations Lead.

Whale Tales Archery is growing, and we need someone who can keep up. If you thrive in a fast-moving environment, love the sport, and know retail. This role is the backbone of our day-to-day operation — from opening the shop to closing the books, you'll be the person who makes sure everything runs the way it should.

What You'll Do:

• Help Run the shop. Own the daily operation — staffing, floor management, customer experience, and everything in between. When something needs to get done, you make sure it does.
• Drive sales. You know how to read a customer, make the right recommendation, and close. You'll coach the team to do the same and help us hit our monthly goals.
• Manage inventory. Stay ahead of stock levels, work with our vendors, and make sure the right products are on the floor at the right time.

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay with a benefits package
• 401(k) with company match
• Healthcare stipend to offset insurance costs
• Shop spending allowance and deep employee discounts — because you should be shooting the gear you're selling
• 2 weeks paid vacation to start, increasing over time

What We're Looking For

• Experience in retail management or a similar leadership role
• Strong communicator that connect with customers
• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple priorities without dropping the ball
• A genuine passion for archery is a serious advantage — you don't have to be a pro, but you need to love the sport

This is more than a job — it's a chance to help build something. If you want to be part of a team that's serious about archery, serious about growth, and serious about taking care of its people, we'd love to hear from you.
