DIRECTOR OF SALES & OPERATIONS
Stu's Home Improvement Outlet | Dubuque, Iowa | Full-Time
Compensation: Competitive Base Salary + Uncapped Bonus & Commission
————————————————————————
THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL RETAIL JOB
————————————————————————
Stu's Home Improvement Outlet is Dubuque's go-to destination for incredible deals on scratch-and-dent appliances, open-box products, last year's models, and one of the largest furniture and sectional selections in the region. We also carry a full line of home improvement products — everything you'd find at Lowe's, Home Depot, or Menards — at a fraction of retail price.
We're growing fast and we're looking for a rare, results-driven leader to join our team. This is not a sit-behind-a-desk role. We need someone who can walk in on Day 1 and immediately start moving the needle on sales — and who has the vision and leadership to eventually oversee our expansion into multiple locations across the region.
If you've ever walked onto a sales floor, seen exactly what was broken, and knew how to fix it — we want to talk to you.

YOUR GROWTH PATH AT STU'S
————————————————————————
This role is built in three phases:
Phase 1 — NOW: Come in, assess the situation, and drive immediate sales growth at our Dubuque location. Results matter here and we reward them generously.
Phase 2 — 6 to 18 Months: As sales stabilize and grow, begin building the systems, playbooks, and team infrastructure needed to replicate our model.
Phase 3 — 18 Months and Beyond: Transition into Director of Operations, overseeing General Managers, sales teams, inventory, and company culture as we open additional locations.
This is a ground-floor opportunity with a business owner who is ready to invest in the right person and move quickly.

3. Where do you want to be professionally in three years?
Applications that do not answer these questions will not be considered. We are serious about finding the right person and we move fast. If you're the right fit, you'll know it quickly.
