Love What You Do. Carter’s Careers

As a Store Manager, you and the team you lead will be the first face of the brand for growing families. You and the team you lead will be there to congratulate new parents and grandparents, introduce them to our new baby essentials, help prep them for the first day of school, and all the big and little moments on their parenting journey. We're looking for a leader who fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment, values and optimizes skills and talents, and continually educates themselves and their team on product styles, features, and benefits. You’ll coach your teams to reach their potential, to become brand and product experts, and own their careers.

What We Love About Carter’s

We’ve kept our close-knit culture since our founding, and we invest in our teams with training and development programs, so we all succeed together. A Carter’s career doesn’t feel like a job. It feels like connections, between customers, teams, and families. Caring, teamwork, flexibility, and growth are what make us different. What’s not to love?
