Description

Do you love books? Do you love people? Does the thought of talking to customers about books excite you? If the answer to these questions is "yes," then Kramers may be the perfect place for you!

Kramers is an independent bookstore located in the heart of Dupont Circle. For more than 45 years Kramers has provided residents from DC and further afield with a spectacularly curated book selection and a book-related events program.

This environment is fun, fast-paced, engaging and challenging all at the same time. You must be able to communicate well, dynamically interact with our customers, adapt to the ever-changing world of books, and work independently, yet in unison with your Kramers team.

As a Floor Manager you will be expected to perform the following tasks:

• Provide outstanding customer service.
• Perform section detail and inventory management.
• Extensive shelving and restocking.
• Inventory receiving (requires the ability to carry 35-pound boxes).
• Manage and delegate booksellers during your shifts.
• Open and close the store (this will be a key-holding position).

Candidates should have prior retail experience. Prior bookstore experience is a plus but not required. Ideally the candidate will have held previous supervisory roles. Candidates should also be comfortable engaging customers in conversations about books, have a thirst for knowledge, be detail oriented, and be motivated to work with the book store team to achieve challenging sales goals. It's especially helpful if you are a bit of an expert in a particular genre.

We are open Monday through Saturday, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Sunday from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. We hire for this position based upon your knowledge, experience, and availability. This job is a 32 to 40-hour a week position.
