In this role, you will be the heartbeat of our sales floor, providing guidance to our team and ensuring that every person who walks through our doors feels welcome and valued. If you are an experienced leader who wants to make a real impact, foster a supportive team environment, and grow your career with a company that puts people first, we would be thrilled to meet you and talk about your future here in Ashland.
