Re-Up Refills is seeking a full-time Store Manager to serve as the lead staff person for our mission-driven organization. This role leads both the high-visibility, customer-facing operations of our Oakland retail location and the behind-the-scenes infrastructure that supports our operational growth and development.
The Store Manager ensures that our low-waste grocery model runs smoothly and our facilities remain in peak condition. Key responsibilities for this role include but are not limited to:
- Retail Operations & Staff Management: Act as the lead staff person for the customer-facing portion of the low-waste grocery store. You will manage the retail team, ensuring exceptional service and education for customers transitioning to a zero-waste lifestyle as well as a growing and sustainable staff culture.
- Facilities Oversight & Management: Develop, document, and improve operational systems for all Re-Up facilities, ensuring they are clear, effective, and consistently implemented by the team.

ABOUT THE RE-UP REFILL SHOP
Since 2019, Re-Up Refills has provided bulk groceries in refillable containers with a mission to create a better grocery system, where waste is minimized, products are responsibly sourced, and consumers are informed about environmental and social issues. Groceries… without all the waste.
In 2025, we diverted more than 175,387 single use plastic containers... that's 217.09 cubic yards of trash — enough to fill 109 commercial dumpsters! Our mission-driven business, and our small adjacent waste reduction non-profit, WasteWhat, are interested in what's good for the planet long term, but also for our team and the surrounding community. We strive to rethink the way we consume, and to offer a system that replaces single-use waste with a more circular alternative.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Store Manager is the lead staff person responsible for overseeing day-to-day operations at the refill shop and ensuring a seamless, low-waste grocery experience. This multifaceted role requires working collaboratively with Re-Up’s Owners, Assistant Store Manager, and Sales Associates to serve the recurring and urgent needs of all operations — including the brick-and-mortar retail location and the warehouse. By providing leadership across retail operations and operational systems, the Store Manager ensures the organization operates efficiently while advancing our mission to reduce waste.
