Retail Fishing Manager

We are seeking a RETAIL FISHING MANAGER to join the Orvis team in Leesburg, VA!

A fly shop is the center of an angler’s universe. It’s the place where all adventures begin and like-minded individuals gather to learn, plan, share, laugh, and dream. For many, a fly shop is ground zero in the lifelong pursuit of new water. For others, it’s a place to connect with old friends and plan new quests in the field. Here you’ll find knowledgeable anglers, passionate upland hunters, and folks with an insatiable appetite for sharing their experiences.

The role of Retail Fishing Manager is distinctive, dynamic and one of the most rewarding positions within the company. The role provides the opportunity to teach, mentor and problem solve for customer and associates. The role challenges you to refine your craft, grow your expertise in new areas, and expand your engagement with the outdoors. You will build relationships with industry professionals, Orvis affiliates and conservationists, resulting in a deep connection to our brand and a deep connection to the adventure and wonder in nature.

We are looking for:

Independent leaders who can learn on the fly, demonstrate integrity and mutual respect, and create a fun and energetic store vibe

Passion for the outdoors with strong expertise in fly fishing and fly tying, and a love for sharing knowledge

Excellent retail business acumen including selling skills, visual presentation, and sales analysis

Ability to handle ambiguity, use sound judgement, and solve problems for customers and associates

Up-to-date computer skills with the aptitude to learn and utilize business programs as well as the ability to teach these programs to the team

Merchandising experience

Knowledge of upland hunting
