About the role

Build-A-Bear is seeking a Manager, Associate Experience & Engagement to shape the employee journey in St. Louis. You will drive onboarding, engagement, and culture-building initiatives, partnering with HR, Field Operations, Communications, and business leaders to strengthen retention and reflect our values. You will manage communications, intranet content, and resources for managers, measure engagement metrics, and identify opportunities for continuous improvement across the associate lifecycle.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
