About the Role

We are passionate about community and life transformation. That’s why we created the most effective thrift store model on the planet. We combine all the passion of ministering to others while at the same time utilizing the best trends in business management. We currently operate the largest thrift store in Nashville, where you can find great deals and unique offerings of clothing, housewares, furniture, books and more!

Unlike many thrift stores, 100% of our proceeds benefit local nonprofits. ThriftSmart is a 501c3 organization.

In addition, we support hundreds of other areas schools, nonprofits and churches through our GiveSmart Program and our store on Nolensville road as served as a hub for welcoming Nashville’s refugee community. For years, volunteers taught weekly English classes in our store. We also helped launch Sew For Hope, a wonderful organization providing sewing training for Middle Tennessee refugees. Classes are held in the back of our store, and they bring together women and men from around the globe who are starting new lives in the United States.

Working for ThriftSmart provides the opportunity for employees to be part of a welcoming environment and to have local and global impact through our mission to support other charities. We seek dedicated, mission-minded team members for employment. Honesty, creativity, amiability and dependability are key factors we look for in potential employees.
