District Manager (Timberland)

What will you do?

A day in the life of a District Manager at Timberland looks a little like this.

As a District Manager, you will lead a portfolio of stores to deliver exceptional customer experience, drive operational excellence, and achieve business goals. You will be responsible for developing high-performing store leadership teams, executing brand strategies, and ensuring that each store reflects the values and culture of the brand. Your leadership will directly impact profitability, customer satisfaction, and team engagement across your district. This role is ideal for a strategic, people-first leader who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-unit retail environment and is passionate about building inclusive, high-performing teams.

Let’s break down that day-in-the-life a bit more.

• Maximize district profitability by setting clear direction and supporting stores in achieving sales, expense, and inventory goals.

• Recruit, hire, and retain diverse, high-caliber talent; ensure stores are optimally staffed, and succession plans are in place.

• Ensure all Store Managers are consistently trained and developed, conducting regular training sessions and check-ins on a quarterly basis to reinforce operational standards, leadership competencies, and brand expectations.  Partner with HR and Talent Development teams to identify training needs and track progress across the district.

• Partner with corporate teams (Retail Operations, HR, Visual Merchandising, etc.) to execute brand strategies and initiatives.

• Conduct regular store visits and audits to ensure compliance with brand standards and policies.

• Champion customer service by modeling brand-specific service standards and addressing customer feedback promptly.

• Oversee annual Performance Appraisal processes, Personal Development Plans, and succession planning; provide support and guidance to the store managers on these processes.

• Ensure visual merchandising and store presentation align with brand guidelines and elevate the customer experience.

• Foster a culture of inclusion, creativity, and continuous improvement by sharing best practices and encouraging collaboration.

• Maintain compliance with all loss prevention, safety, and operational policies and procedures.

• Represent the brand with integrity and professionalism in all interactions with internal and external stakeholders.

• *This role requires regular travel by car or air, approximately ~60% of the time.

What do you need to succeed?

We all have unique skills that we bring to work and celebrate every day. For this role, there are foundation skills you’ll need to succeed and excel. Additionally, while formal education in a related field is great to have, we are most interested in your 7+ years of progressive experience in the apparel, footwear, or related retail industry, including multi-store management and training responsibilities.

The foundation skills you will need in this position are:

• Must demonstrate proven people leadership experience, with a track record of developing and leading high-performing teams across multiple locations.

• Proven ability to meet and exceed sales and profit results.

• Proven ability to drive results through team coaching and operational excellence.

Location requirement: While this position is fully remote, the ideal candidate will reside within Massachusetts to better service their client base.
