What this role is
Entry-level individual contributor providing administrative and operational support to the store operations organization. At the Support Associate (S1) level, the role owns a single task type or queue, routine, well-defined requests, and drives individual transactions. None.
What this level does
- Greet customers, assist with product selection, and process purchases, returns, and exchanges on the register following the transaction steps as instructed
- Restock shelves from backstock, face merchandise, and keep the sales floor and checkout area clean to store standards
- Receive shipments and place stock, flagging low-stock or damaged items to a lead or manager rather than resolving them independently
- Monitor the sales floor and report suspicious activity per the store's loss-prevention policy, escalating anything unusual to a supervisor
- Knowledge applied
- General knowledge of register operation, product locations, and restocking routines; answers to questions are readily available in posted procedures or from a supervisor.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Routine, prescribed tasks — ring a sale, restock a shelf, greet a customer; anything unusual is escalated.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Standard interactions with customers and peers; reports to a lead or Store/Assistant Manager and follows detailed instructions.
- Typical experience
- 0–1 years; minimal retail experience.
Skills at this level
- Transaction and Cash Handling
- — Operates the register to process purchases, returns, exchanges, voids, and price overrides accurately; counts drawers, performs safe drops, and reconciles cash to the system at open and close.
- Inventory Counting and Reconciliation
- — Receives shipments, cycle-counts merchandise, scans quantities against system stock levels, and traces discrepancies to their cause (mis-scan, receiving error, or theft) for correction.
- Loss Prevention and Shrink Control
- — Monitors the sales floor for suspicious activity, applies security procedures and controls, and works to hold shrink at or below the store's target through investigation and corrective action.
- Freight Flow and Replenishment
- — Sequences the movement of shipments from receiving to backstock to shelf, sets floor per planograms, and paces replenishment against the day's sales priorities.
- Store Opening and Closing Procedures
- — Executes the multi-step opening and closing checklist — drawer setup and count, safe drops, floor set, and securing entrances — and covers general store supervision of these tasks when needed.
- Customer Service and Issue Resolution
- — Greets and assists customers with product selection and resolves floor-level complaints and disputed refunds or exchanges using judgment within store policy.
- Associate Coaching and Task Coordination
- — Assigns and checks the work of associates on a shift, onboards new hires on register and stocking basics, and communicates promotions and procedure changes across the team.
- Store Procedure Development
- — Documents and pilots store-level operating methods for freight flow, counts, and loss prevention, refining them before they become the standard others follow.
