We are a family-owned, international multichannel retailer, and we are proud of our culture, in which associates deliver world-class customer service, and exceptional products & learning opportunities.

You oversee all aspects of the fly-fishing department, where the soul of the brand comes to life. As a sales floor leader, you embody Orvis core values as you deliver world-class customer service, whether it is outfitting a customer for the trip of a lifetime or teaching a group of new fly fishers how to cast for the first time. Your relationship with the community is not bound within the walls of the store - you actively engage fly fishers of all skill levels through education, support, and genuine enthusiasm.     We are passionate, curious, and approachable. Our store teams are teachers, mentors, and problem solvers. We live to develop and share our equipment, apparel, and expertise to outfit deeper connections and authentic experiences in the outdoors for a more inspired life.   We are the most-trusted lifestyle brand rooted in the innovation of fly-fishing and wingshooting. Everything we make, offer, or share flows from generations of curiosity on the water, in the field, and around the fire.   The natural world is at the core of our passions and our business. Cold mountain streams, high-country grasslands, and saltwater flats—these are the places we feel most alive. We know the power of the experiences they provide and live for the anticipation it brings. And we must preserve these places for future generations. This is why we commit 5% of pre-tax profits to protecting what we love.   We offer a retail career experience like no other.
