Position Overview

The Vice President, Boutique Development & Operations will lead the development, opening, and ongoing performance of Teddy Baldassarre’s growing network of retail boutiques.

This role owns the full lifecycle of each boutique, from identifying and evaluating markets and specific locations through lease negotiation, design, construction, staffing, opening, and ongoing operations. The VP will work closely with the Senior Leadership Team, landlords, brokers, architects, general contractors, brand partners, and internal functional leaders to ensure each new boutique is delivered on time, on budget, and at the standard expected of Teddy Baldassarre and our brand partners. Once boutiques are operational, this leader will be responsible for building a high-performing retail organization, including recruiting, developing, and retaining Boutique Directors, establishing operating standards, managing performance, and ensuring each location achieves its annual sales, profitability, customer experience, and brand objectives.

The ideal candidate is both *a builder* and *an operator:* someone who can assess a market and negotiate a lease one day, manage a complex construction project the next, and coach a Boutique Director on sales performance, staffing, and customer experience the following week. The role requires strong commercial judgment,
