Support something special. Help lead the team at our very first retail store and connect our community to the magic of Merry People.
At Merry People, we've spent the last decade building a brand shaped by authenticity, kindness, adventure and joy. Now, for the first time, we're opening a permanent space where our community can experience that spirit in person, and we're looking for a warm, thoughtful and driven Assistant Store Manager to help make that happen.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of our brand's next chapter. As 2IC, you'll be instrumental in setting the tone, culture and experience of our very first retail store, supporting our Store Manager and stepping up as a leader in your own right.
Our StoryMerry People began in 2014 with a sketch, a leap of faith and a pair of boots. Our founder, Dani, was working in a corporate job in Melbourne and couldn't find a pair of rain boots that were both functional for wet-weather commutes and stylish enough for the office. Drawing on her country upbringing in South Gippsland, and a longing for more creativity and joy, she designed her own.
From weekend market stalls to a growing global community, Merry People has become a brand loved for its quality, individuality and optimism. This store is our next adventure, and we'd love you to be part of it.
