Our store teams are the heart of Leap (https://www.leapinc.com/) ! We are looking for an innovative and engaging Store Manager for our ASRV (https://asrv.com/) boutique coming to Abbot Kinney June 2024 . This leader will build dynamic store teams to create exceptional customer experiences and drive store performance to achieve business goals.
ASRV is a collective of athletes, designers, entrepreneurs, and creatives, but the thing that ties us all together is our obsession with getting more - out of our minds, our bodies, and our lives. The category of activewear was originally created for the person seeking a championship or some form of external achievement. We view these as potential side effects of our efforts, but not the ultimate goal. We exist for the individual who relentlessly chases the next challenge, in search of that beautiful place between pressure and ability, where we find our deepest sense of purpose.
A.S.R.V. is an acronym for All-Season Recreation Versatility, which represents the three standards of design we apply to every product before we mark it ready for release. This is a meticulous process that dives deep into every detail of the design, from the material, to the technology, to the features, that ensures an optimal final product.
The Leap platform launches and operates insight-driven retail stores for modern brands with better performance and less risk. Among the trailblazing brands we work with are: ASTR the Label, ThirdLove, Rent the Runway, Ring Concierge, Malbon Golf, Frankies Bikinis, Bad Birdies, True Classic Tees and many more.
