Store Manager, Retail & Store Manager

Overview

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Store Manager to oversee the daily operations of our self-storage facility in Fremont, CA. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring customer satisfaction (online, over-the-phone, in-person), maximizing rental occupancy, and maintaining the facility's overall performance and cleanliness. You will be primarily measured on your ability to drive high occupancy of the store through both retaining and attracting new customers – we will also look at leading metrics that drive that performance (e.g., facility cleanliness, responsiveness to customers).

You will work in an entrepreneurial and rapidly growing environment with low hierarchy.

Attracting and retaining the best talent is vital to our success. We empower employees to make decisions, set the bar on compensation and benefits at the upper end of the self-storage industry, foster a positive and can-do culture, and provide growth opportunities (including promoting from within). We view talent as a top strategic priority and welcome input on how to make you and the company successful.

We embrace a start-up dynamic, recognizing opportunities for greater responsibility and the learning experiences from mistakes.
