Retail Manager

We believe Running Changes Everything. If you believe that, too, we want to talk. With more than 280 stores and a robust e-commerce site, Fleet Feet is the largest running retailer in the country. Catering to more than runners, we pride ourselves on having an inclusive environment! We believe it’s a privilege to serve and to deliver unmatched service and support when outfitting every customer. We run together to solve problems, reach goals, encourage others and champion our brand.

Your presence on the sales floor will drive performance, nurture a high-energy team culture, and contribute directly to the store’s overall success.

If you're ready to lead with purpose, coach with heart, and drive meaningful results, we’d love to hear from you.  Apply today and help us change lives one stride at a time.
