  • Stock shelves, face products, and ensure accurate labeling/signage
  • Receive inventory shipments and assist with store layout/display updates

Marketing & Engagement

  • Create and post social media content to highlight new products, promos, and store events
  • Engage customers online and drive foot traffic through creative digital posts and promotions
  • Contribute ideas for in-store promotions and community engagement

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • 1–2 years in retail, customer service, or pool industry experience preferred
  • Friendly, approachable, and confident in product-based selling
  • Strong communication skills, both in-person and on social media
  • Comfortable using point-of-sale systems, basic water testing tools, and social media platforms
  • Detail-oriented, clean, and organized work habits
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs (e.g., chemical containers)

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in the pool & spa industry or water chemistry knowledge is a strong asset
  • Basic graphic design or social media content creation (Canva, Instagram, Facebook)
  • Retail merchandising or visual display experience
  • Experience in a customer facing role
