The Florida Market Manager oversees a portfolio of four SEE Eyewear retail locations throughout the Florida market. This is a hands-on, field-based leadership role responsible for driving sales performance, developing Store Managers, building high-performing teams, and ensuring every location consistently delivers the SEE brand experience.

Due to the geographic footprint of the Florida market, this role requires significant travel between store locations and the ability to effectively manage a dispersed team. The ideal candidate is comfortable spending considerable time on the road, conducting regular store visits, coaching teams in person, and maintaining a strong presence across the market.

The ideal candidate must reside within the Florida market and be able to travel regularly between locations. This is not a corporate or remote role—it requires active involvement in store operations, team development, and business performance.

Weekend availability is required, as supporting retail teams during peak business periods is an essential part of this role.
