About the Role:
The Company is seeking a President to lead a specialty retail business with a strong community presence and a focus on authentic, high-quality health and wellness products. The successful candidate will be a hands-on leader with a background in specialty retail, consumer products, or food and wellness distribution, and must be fluent in Mandarin and English, with Cantonese being a strong plus. This role is pivotal in the transition to employee ownership, and the President will be responsible for full P&L management, business strategy, and operations. Key responsibilities include leading a team, owning merchandising and vendor relationships, driving revenue growth, and executing operational business objectives. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in multi-channel retail leadership, experience in e-commerce and wholesale, and a steady, people-first leadership style. Applicants for the President role at the company should possess a strong entrepreneurial mindset, excellent communication, and collaboration skills, and a growth-oriented approach to business. The role requires a leader who is adept at problem-solving, project management, and is committed to being a visible, engaged presence in the local community. The President will also be involved in HR and personnel matters, and must be prepared to manage the transition to employee ownership with a focus on instilling an owner's mindset and fostering a values-aligned company culture. A background in merchandising and vendor management, as well as a solid understanding of P&L, is essential. The company is dedicated to creating an inclusive workplace and encourages candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply. Hiring Manager Title Industry Lead FunctionsCEO/President Operations
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.
