About BWH Plant Co.
BWH Plant Co. is a digital-first garden brand on a mission to turn all thumbs green. From rare finds to everyday favorites, we grow and ship thousands of plants each week across the U.S. Our goal is to make plant care feel cool, accessible, and fun for the next generation of home gardeners.
Jungle Room by BWH Plant Co. is our retail shop and creative community space in the heart of College Park, Orlando. It's where the brand meets the neighborhood: plants, pottery, workshops, private events and seasonal markets.
About the Role
We're looking for a part-time Assistant Store Manager to lead our Jungle Room team, support daily shop operations, and own our community events from planning through breakdown. Jungle Room is a small-format shop with a team of fewer than five associates, and the role is a mix of store operations, team leadership and events, and it's a good fit for someone who likes being hands-on, works autonomously, and takes initiative. You'll also be the link between the shop and our growing facility in Apopka, so strong communication skills are a must.
What You'll Do
- Run the store day to day: opening and closing, merchandising, restocking, accurate inventory counts, moving clearance plants, supply requests, and keeping the shop guest-ready. You'll be a keyholder.
- Lead and train the team: set the tone on the floor, onboard and coach new associates, build the weekly schedule, and make the call when something comes up mid-shift
- Own our community events: plant bingo, plant swaps, large seasonal sale events, markets and off-site events. You'll handle planning, staffing, setup and breakdown, and be on-site while they're happening. You'll also support our specialty workshops and private events.
- Keep the store on message and support our marketing team: get signage up on time and down when it should be, make sure the team knows the offer when a promotion goes live, and capture photos and video from the floor and post Instagram stories that show what's happening in the shop
- Sell on the floor and drive the team's daily/weekly sales-per-hour targets: help guests find what they're looking for and ring them up like every associate does, track where the store stands and talk about it with the team
Who You Are
- A natural leader who's comfortable being in charge on a busy shift
- Calm under pressure and quick on your feet. Big crowds and event days don't rattle you.
- Organized and reliable. You follow through without needing reminders.
- Friendly and articulate, in person, on the phone and over email
- Excited to be part of a local, community-driven shop
Skills & Experience You Have
- Retail or hospitality experience, including some time leading a team
- Experience running an event start to finish, in a store or off-site
- Comfortable shooting quick phone content and posting Instagram stories
- Comfortable working toward sales targets and talking to your team about them
- Available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as part of your regular schedule, plus some evenings, occasional off-site events, and around major retail holidays
- Able to lift 30 lbs and be on your feet for a full shift
- 18 or older
Nice to Have
- Plant knowledge, or a real interest in learning
- Experience with Shopify POS
- A feel for the Orlando events and small business community
