MASS MoCA is seeking a full-time Associate Retail Manager to launch our newest retail endeavor, The Research & Development Store which is set to open this summer. The R&D Store combines gallery and retail space focused on selling contemporary artist editions and books of the highest quality. The store will host book events, record launches, signings, intimate performances and product-related public programming.
The Associate Retail Manager works to achieve the success of retail operations and enhances the visitor experience by connecting shoppers to the materials (books, prints, and ephemera) related to our programming. The ideal candidate will have an interest in contemporary culture and a love of printed matter and art objects—product knowledge can be learned on the job. Basic math and Point of Sale skills, careful organization and attention to detail are crucial. We're looking for a dependable multi-tasker who is curious, self-motivated, prompt and able to work independently.
This position works closely with and reports to the Manager & Creative Producer of Research & Development and once on board, this person will help train, retain, and educate a productive team of part-time associates. This public facing role is vital to the larger team of other front facing departments at MASS MoCA (Public Programs, Membership, Visitor Services and Security) and we think a strong sense of fun & camaraderie are the best way to help “own” the customer experience in this fast-paced, high traffic Museum Shop environment.
The MASS MoCA retail store is a key part of the visitor experience and the museum’s earned revenue operation, and operates as a source of information about the museum and surrounding region to visitors beyond the range of products offered.
As defined by the National Labor Relations Act, this position is part of the bargaining unit for UAW Local 2110.
Duties and Responsibilities of the Associate Retail Manager include but are not limited to:
