Retail Strategy Manager - Full-time | Hong Kong
A job to jump out of bed for!
Hush Home is a new lifestyle brand focused on sleep. Our core mission is to help our customers sleep better because we believe every great day starts the night before.
Our business has 4 core components:
- Designing the perfect night's rest. Based in California, our R&D team uses a consumer-focused design approach to design and test the most innovative materials to create the perfect mattress, pillow and sheets.
- Offering a delightful shopping experience. We drive sales through a content-rich, easy-to-use website as well as a unique offline retail experience (ie, pop-up bedrooms around HK). Even in our physical locations, customers will buy our products on our website.
- Improving the customer experience. We will offer free delivery, 100-night home trial, and free returns. We will have multiple integrated touchpoints with the client: in store, livechat on the website, whatsapp, email, and/or phone.
- Offering luxury products at affordable prices. All our products are designed using 5-star hotel-grade materials -- and the best thing is, by selling primarily online, we're able to sell a luxury product at a fraction of the price of traditional retailers!
As an early stage company with rapid growth ahead of us, Hush Home is looking for a dynamic entrepreneur to join as our Retail Strategy Manager. As the manager of our retail team, you will create and drive our brick-and-mortar strategy, from selecting our first pop-up locations to designing the look and feel of our first permanent location. You will perform an important role at the frontline (as our brand ambassador) as well as the backline (as the key person driving reporting, forecasting, and budgeting for showrooms, pop up stores, and partnerships). We expect our retail strategy manager to drive a creative retail strategy in today’s omni-channel retail environment, provide personalised and hospitality-driven services to customers, and maximize sales, profitability and retail performance.
