Job Summary
The University of Utah Campus Store is seeking a Utah Red Zone Lead for a full-time, hourly leadership role responsible for driving the sales floor experience in the Utah Red Zone at the University of Utah Campus Store. This highly visible, customer-facing position plays a key role in creating an energetic, service-focused environment that reflects the pride and spirit of the University of Utah.

As a sales floor leader, the Red Zone Lead maintains a strong presence on the floor, delivering exceptional customer service, inspiring selling engagement, and ensuring visual merchandising standards are consistently executed at a high level. This role sets the tone for the customer experience by modeling outstanding service behaviors and reinforcing selling expectations with the team.

Reporting to store management, the Red Zone Lead supports team performance during high-traffic and event-driven periods, helping the store operate smoothly and successfully during peak times.

Regular Saturday availability is required. When the reporting manager is scheduled to work on a Saturday (excluding home football game days), the Red Zone Lead will typically have that Saturday off.

• Provide in-the-moment coaching to associates to drive selling engagement, product knowledge, and service execution.
• Support supervisors and team members by reinforcing expectations and communicating performance concerns to management as needed.
• Maintain high visual merchandising standards by executing floor moves, ensuring product presentation is compelling, and keeping marketing and signage current and impactful.
• Proactively monitor the sales floor to ensure product is accessible, replenished, and aligned with promotional priorities.
• Assist customers with product location, stock inquiries, and purchasing decisions to drive sales and enhance the customer experience.
• Support merchandise transfers and product staging as needed to ensure the sales floor remains stocked and organized.
• Partner with receiving and warehouse teams to facilitate timely product flow, while maintaining primary focus on the selling floor.
• Support concessions and stadium operations during football season by assisting with visual alignment, restocking, and game-day cashier check-in under management direction.
