Anybody work in behind the scenes administration of a retail store?

I currently am an assistant office manager, and I have to deal with the public quite a bit in a sales atmosphere. I hate sales. I worked as a retail sales associate many moons ago in college, and I realized that I kind of like that retail atmosphere. Obviously I couldn't support myself on that kind of salary, so I was thinking that maybe I could get into more of an administrative role in a retail environment.

Any info on that kind of thing would be appreciated.

  • Have you tried HR positions, area sales managers, or payroll type positons?

  • I haven't tried anything yet. Not quite sure how to go about even finding out what kind of jobs are out there like that. I'm not interested in HR at all. I'd be interested in a travelling set up/training team, though. I just don't know how to go about finding job openings like that.
  • I work in Corporate HR for a retail company.  It is a fun environment, and there are a lot of different non-sales opportunities.
  • I work in the corporate office of a teen retailer. In my department (HR) it's really nothing like a retail store enviornment, besides the lack of holidays off. At the company I work for, everyone that has the job you're looking for started in the stores and worked their way up by being good at sales.
