Hey DM,
Given your experience managing multiple locations, we'd like you to lead the end-to-end launch of our new store opening in Springdale. This will expose you to essential skills needed at the executive level, like project management, budget oversight, hiring and onboarding, community partnerships, and implementing new systems/technology.
You will assemble and lead the cross-functional new store opening team, creating the project plan from site selection, lease negotiation, vendor coordination, facilities setup, merchandising, staff hiring and training, promotion and events, and ultimately managing the successful grand opening.
Throughout the 9-month launch, you will provide regular progress reports to senior leadership on timeline, budget variances, and risks/solutions. You will also evaluate and implement new technologies like self-checkout and inventory management software to create an innovative, customer-centric shopping experience.
This highly visible assignment requires strong communication, leadership, and organization. However, it will expand your capabilities in launching new initiatives, managing stakeholders, and overseeing an enterprise project lifecycle. This experience will position you well for advancement into executive roles.
Please inform me if you are interested in leading this strategic growth initiative. I'm confident in your ability to manage a successful store opening that furthers our company's expansion. Let me know if you have any other questions!
