Job Description

Job Description

Loomcraft is redefining what a modern fabric store looks like. Backed by Dorell Fabrics, one of the largest fabric manufacturers and distributors in the U.S., we combine deep industry expertise with a fresh, evolving retail experience. This is not a typical retail leadership role. You will lead both front and back of house operations, work closely with creative professionals and clients, and play a key role in driving sales, customer experience, and store growth.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead day-to-day store operations across front and back of house
  • Manage, coach, and motivate the store team to ensure strong performance and accountability
  • Work directly with interior designers, furniture designers, and creative professionals
  • Deliver a high-touch, consultative customer experience
  • Drive sales across in-stock inventory and custom or special order products
  • Oversee complex custom sales that require coordination and follow-up
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and visually compelling store environment
  • Design and execute merchandising displays, including fabric presentations
  • Oversee tagging, signage, and point of purchase materials
  • Manage inventory levels and ensure accurate stock reporting
  • Oversee order processing to ensure accuracy and timely fulfillment
  • Track sales performance and report on store metrics
  • Maintain strong communication with internal teams and customers

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong retail management experience, ideally in a product-driven or design-oriented environment
  • Proven ability to lead teams and drive sales growth
  • Enjoying F2F client interactions
  • Building meaningful and lasting client relationships
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail
  • Strong communication skills, both verbal and written
  • Comfortable balancing operational and customer-facing responsibilities
  • Ability to adapt and execute in a growing and evolving retail environment
  • Hands-on mindset with willingness to be present on the floor

Ideal Candidate

  • Custom drapery, furniture and design experience greatly preferred but not required
  • You have an eye for creative projects and enjoy working with clients to bring their ideas to life.
  • You are detail-oriented, approachable, and bring positive energy to the team.
  • You can lead an experienced team while earning trust and respect, and you are comfortable balancing creativity with structure and operations.

What’s In It For You:

  • Opportunity to lead and collaborate with interior designers and creative professionals
  • Being a part of one of the fastest-growing fabric retail chains in the USA
  • Enjoy every Sunday off
  • Benefits package and Bonus
  • Hands-on training
  • Opportunity to grow as the company expands
  • Direct impact on shaping and growing a modern retail experience

Why This Is Better Than Typical Retail

  • Leadership role with real ownership and decision-making
  • Consistent daytime schedule with no late-night retail hours
  • Closed Sundays, supporting strong work-life balance
  • Work in a creative, design-driven environment rather than traditional retail
  • Opportunity to help modernize and scale an established business

Benefits:

  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
