Vans: Assistant Manager - Denver Premium Outlet
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro about Vans mission etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says we can use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The intro about Vans could be "About the role" (maybe describing the role context). However the role description is later: "Assistant Manager What will you do? A day in the life...". So we could have sections: About the role (intro about Vans and role), Responsibilities (the day-in-the-life bullet points), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (the "What do you need to succeed?" part includes foundational skills, experience, education). Benefits: there is a Benefits at VF Corporation paragraph. Pay: there is Hiring Range: $23.00 - $34.50 USD per hour and Incentive Potential. So we have Pay and maybe Benefits. Schedule not mentioned.
We must not create sections with filler. So we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay. Possibly combine Requirements and Skills? The instruction says we can use those headings. We need to decide what content goes where.
Let's extract substantive content.
**About the role** (maybe the introductory paragraph about Vans mission and culture). The posting starts: "Vans is the original brand rooted in the authentic lifestyle of skateboarding. We are driven by our mission to inspire and empower everyone to live “Off The Wall” – embracing the youthful spirit of freedom, non-conformity, and relentless progression. Yesterday’s “Off The Wall” moment is today’s new normal, and at Vans, we believe in constantly outdoing ourselves. Together with our communities across the globe, our vision is to push culture forward because we believe that the pursuit of progression never ends. We are constantly inspired by the future generation of positive catalysts within our community. So, before we get to the job details, take a minute to learn a little more about us – our values and our culture. If you can see yourself working side-by-side with a team of people who think and live “Off the Wall,” Vans just may be the place for you. To learn more about our values and our culture, visit Vans Careers or www.vans.com."
That's about the company, not the role. But we can put it under "About the role" as context. It's substantive.
**Responsibilities**: The "What will you do?" section includes a day in the life bullet list. Let's extract each duty as list items.
Paragraph: "As the Assistant Store Manager, you will lead, develop, and motivate a team of Brand Advocates to deliver consistent, best-in-class customer experience that reflects our brand values and purpose. You will partner closely with the Store Manager to drive profitability by ensuring excellence in customer engagement, merchandising, operations, and community connection. In the Store Manager’s absence, you will assume full responsibility for the store. This role is ideal for someone passionate about leadership, team development, and creating an inclusive, high-performing retail environment."
Then "Let’s break down that day-in-the-life a bit more." Then bullet-like sentences:
- Support the store team in achieving and exceeding sales goals by monitoring progress against key performance indicators, while also achieving individual goals.
- Lead and coach the team to exceed individual and store productivity goals.
- Model exceptional customer service and selling behaviors to inspire the team and create authentic brand experiences.
- Supervise daily store operations, including opening and closing procedures, floor coverage, and task delegation.
- Support the Store Manager in recruiting, hiring, and onboarding with high-caliber talent.
- Provide ongoing training, feedback, and development to team members.
- Ensure compliance with all company policies, procedures, and operational standards.
- Partner with the Store Manager to manage expenses, control shrink, and drive profitability.
- Maintain visual merchandising standards and ensure product replenishment aligns with brand directives.
- Foster a culture of accountability, creativity, and continuous improvement.
- Promote a respectful, inclusive environment that values diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
- Support inventory management through accurate shipping, receiving, and stockroom practices.
We can put these as
- items.
**Requirements / Qualifications / Skills**: The "What do you need to succeed?" section includes:
- "We all bring unique skills to work each day. For this role, there are foundational skills needed to succeed, along with 2+ years of retail or store leadership experience in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment . A High School Diploma or equivalent is preferred; but we value hands-on experience and demonstrated achievements most."
Then list: "The foundation skills you will need in this position are:" followed by bullet list:
- Proven ability to drive results through store teams and exceed sales and profit goals.
- Skilled in coaching, motivating, and building high-performing, diverse teams.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to influence across all levels.
- Solution-oriented and flexible in a fast-paced, dynamic retail environment.
- Capable of working independently, managing shifting priorities, and meeting business expectations.
- Comfortable using word processing, spreadsheets, and retail software tools.
- Ability to stand and move throughout the store for extended periods and perform physical tasks such as bending, reaching, squatting, climbing ladders, and lifting light to moderate weight, with or without reasonable accommodation.
We could treat the experience and education as "Requirements" and the skill list as "Skills". Or combine into "Qualifications". The instruction allows multiple headings. We'll create sections: Requirements (experience + education) and Skills (the list). Or we could have Qualifications (experience+education) and Skills (list). Let's decide: Use "Requirements" for the experience and education, and "Skills" for the foundation skills list.
**Benefits**: There's a paragraph: "Benefits at VF Corporation: You can review a general overview of each benefit program offered, including this year's medical plan rates on www.MyVFbenefits.com and by clicking Looking to Join VF? Detailed information on your benefits will be provided during the hiring process." Also there is a note about hiring ranges etc. That's more about Pay. So we will have Benefits section with that paragraph.
**Pay**: There's "Hiring Range: $23.00 - $34.50 USD per hour Incentive Potential: This position is eligible for additional compensation awards that may include an annual incentive plan, sales incentive, or commission potential. Specific details of the additional compensation eligibility for this position will be provided during the recruiting and interview process. Please note, our hiring ranges are determined and built from market pay data. Although all positions have a hiring range based upon market data, this position has a minimum starting rate that is listed above. In determining the specific compensation for this position, we comply with all local, state, and federal laws."
We'll put that in Pay section.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, accommodation request, Fair Chance Ordinance, etc. Also remove lines about "If you require accommodations..." etc. Also remove "Now WE have a question for YOU. Are you in?" maybe not needed? It's a call to action but not substantive? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a question to candidate; could be considered fluff. The instruction says remove duplicated lines, application instructions. The "Now WE have a question for YOU. Are you in?" is not an instruction but a motivational line. Might be considered filler? It's not substantive info about job. Safer to remove it.
Also remove "To learn more about our values and our culture, visit Vans Careers or www.vans.com." That's a link; maybe we keep as part of About the role? It's a reference; could be considered boilerplate? It's not essential job detail. Might be removed. But the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That line is not substantive about the role; it's a referral. Could be removed. However it's part of the intro about Vans. Might be considered fluff. I'd remove it to keep concise.
Also remove "Please note, our hiring ranges are determined and built from market pay data..." that's part of Pay, we keep.
Also remove "At VF, we value a diverse, inclusive workforce and we provide equal employment opportunity..." that's EEO boilerplate, remove.
Also remove "If you require accommodations during the application process, please contact us at peopleservices@vfc.com." remove.
Also remove "VF will provide reasonable accommodations..." remove.
Also remove "Pursuant to all applicable local Fair Chance Ordinance requirements..." remove.
Now construct HTML.
We'll have:
