The responsibilities and duties section is the most important part of the job description. Here you should outline the functions this position will perform on a regular basis, how the job functions within the organization and the title of the manager the person will report to.

• Maintain inventory by implementing purchasing plans and staying in contact with vendors and shippers
• Develop a schedule of holiday activities and promotions throughout the year strategically designed to bring in more revenue
• Provide training to improve the knowledge base of the staff and utilize cross-training methods to maintain productivity when employees are absent
• Work with vendors and manufacturers to bring in effective marketing displays for the sales floor and store windows
• Manage all controllable costs to keep operations profitable

Next, outline the required and preferred skills for your position. This may include education, previous job experience, certifications and technical skills. You may also include soft skills and personality traits that you expect from a successful candidate. While it may be tempting to include a long list of skills and requirements, including too many could dissuade qualified candidates from applying. Keep your list of qualifications concise, but provide enough detail with relevant keywords and terms.
