About Liquor Plus
Liquor Plus is a locally-owned liquor retailer built on great product, great people, and genuine customer experience. We make shopping for beer, wine, and spirits feel approachable and welcoming. Our stores are fast-paced, island -focused, and team-driven places where service standards are high and the culture is supportive.
Who We're Looking For
You're a people leader who embodies high standards and understands what it takes to build and nurture a team. You're operationally sharp and can spot the high performers, and quickly highlight any service and system inefficiencies, and the areas needing problem-solving. You're an inventory management master and live for accurate details. You champion clarity, never avoid a necessary conversation, and are ready to leverage the opportunity to coach. You're comfortable with a quick pace, juggling and adjusting priorities while staying calm under pressure. You’re knowledgeable about the liquor industry and products and love to learn more. You're hands-on, proactive and positive, and believe you’re never too senior to jump on the till or roll up your sleeves when your team needs you.
Why You'll Love This Role
You get real autonomy. You'll lead people, model service excellence, oversee operations, and truly own the results. Being local and island-owned means that you have real visibility in your position, and a direct connection to leadership. This role is a potential launchpad for leadership growth. Prove yourself here, and there's a clear path into multi-unit leadership or broader operations roles.
