6189 - Assistant Store Manager PT

Lids Sports Group is hiring for the part-time position of Assistant Store Manager at its Myrtle Beach, South Carolina location. Lids is the largest licensed sports retailer in North America, with more than 1,300 stores nationwide. The company is headquartered in Indianapolis and is known for offering fan-driven products, in-store embroidery, and immersive retail experiences. This onsite role sits in the store and reports to the Store Manager. If you enjoy leading a team, helping fans find the right gear, and keeping the store running smoothly when management isn’t on the floor, this could be a fit for you.

The role centers on guiding sales and service while upholding Lids’ brand standards, combining product knowledge with a friendly, knowledgeable approach for every guest. You’ll be expected to model professionalism, coach teammates, and ensure a welcoming environment where people feel valued and inspired to return for their next purchase.

In this job, you’ll work under the Store Manager and act as the manager on duty when the manager isn’t present. It’s a hands-on leadership post that fits someone who likes leading a small team, handling daily operations, and keeping a store aligned to company goals while fans come through the door.

Stepping in when the store manager isn't onsite

On busy days you’ll take charge as the manager on duty, handling scheduling challenges and customer issues in the manager’s absence. You’ll guide associates through Lids training programs, set goals for sales and tasks, and follow up to ensure progress is on track. Part of your role is administering the discipline process when needed and building a respectful, inclusive team that follows the brand’s standards.

You’ll drive the selling strategy to meet KPIs and sales targets, resolving customer feedback in real time and turning around escalations by finding a positive resolution. You’ll also educate customers about Lids membership programs and run live promotions, while keeping the store visually polished and aligned with the current signage and cleanliness expectations. A professional appearance that aligns with the company dress code helps reinforce the brand on every shift.

Operational focus is constant: you’ll implement directives from headquarters, comply with the Policies & Procedures Manual, keep store technology up to date, and ensure the facility, supplies, and services are in good shape. Responsible cash-handling practices, accurate till opening and closing, and routine bank drops are part of the daily rhythm, as is preparing the store for inventory audits and supporting the process as needed. Opening and closing the store according to procedures is part of your responsibilities when required.

Product and inventory management sits alongside frontline leadership: you’ll safeguard company assets while managing schedules to ensure proper coverage and wage controls. You’ll oversee receiving, transfers, price changes, and counts, and you’ll organize the backroom to maximize efficiency. You’ll shape the layout and visual merchandising, manage window activations and seasonal changes, and adjust pricing signage to align with the overall product sell-through strategy. Keeping the store looking and functioning well day to day is part of your mission.

What you’ll bring to the team

Must-have capabilities include a proven ability to achieve sales results while reducing loss, strong people skills with clear verbal communication, and the capacity to work without constant supervision.

• Demonstrated success driving sales while minimizing shrink in a retail setting
• Strong interpersonal and verbal communication abilities
• Ability to operate independently without direct supervision
