Vice President of Retail Operations

VICE PRESIDENT OF RETAIL OPERATIONS

Location: Sandy, Utah

If you're a seasoned retail powerhouse who thrives on growth, creative leadership, and a bit of Vitamin D, then this just might be your dream gig. Del Sol is on the hunt for a powerhouse VP to lead the charge in making sure our stores shine as brightly as our color-changing products. From sandy beaches in the Caribbean to bustling cruise ships and sunny storefronts across the U.S., we’re looking for a leader who can elevate store productivity, build unstoppable teams, and deliver results with a side of joy.

About Us

Del Sol first splashed onto the retail scene in 1994 out of a small kiosk in Murray, Utah’s Fashion Place Mall and has been sticking its color-changing products where the sun shines ever since. Based on Del Sol’s proprietary Spectrachrome technology, formerly explored by NASA, color-changing inks and dyes are engineered for application on more than 10,000 Del Sol retail items. Much like a flower that blooms in the sun’s rays, the hidden colors found in Del Sol’s exclusive prints and products twist and unfold into vibrant color upon exposure to sunlight, then returning to their original state without sunlight.

Full of sunny optimism about business and life, Del Sol sells its color-changing shirts, hair accessories, jewelry, sunglasses, nail polish and more to cruise ship passengers, sun-loving beachgoers and resort vacationers. Having fun in the sun has always been at the core of Del Sol’s culture. We stand for all that’s good. For sunshine. For fun in the sun. For memory-filled vacations. For laughter. For joy. We do it for young and old alike. For the smiles that it brings. We’re proud to share a little sunshine with so many people every day. Today, Del Sol has grown to more than 100 retail locations worldwide in 22 countries, is the world’s leading brand of color-changing apparel and accessories, and one of the most highly promoted merchants onboard Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess, Disney, Celebrity, and Norwegian Cruise Lines.
