ABOUT SET THE STAGE BOISE TREASURE VALLEY

Set the Stage Boise Treasure Valley is Idaho's only franchise location within the Set the Stage national network — a recognized leader in professional home staging. Opened in March 2025 and growing steadily, we serve homeowners, real estate professionals, and property investors throughout the Boise and Treasure Valley region. As we expand into curated interior design, Curated Furniture Collections, and Custom Furniture Packages, we are building the team that will carry us into our next chapter of growth.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Assistant Manager is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role working directly alongside owner Kristopher Jenkins as a strategic and operational partner. This is not a siloed position — you'll have your fingerprints on nearly every aspect of the business, from daily operations and client relationships to sales, scheduling, and design. For the right candidate, this role is explicitly designed to grow into a full-time General Manager position as the business scales.

This role begins on-site at our Staging Studio. As the successful candidate demonstrates mastery of the role and earns trust, hybrid work-from-home flexibility will be accommodated.

ABOUT OUR TEAM

Set the Stage Boise operates with a lean, collaborative team model. Our staging crew is a part-time pool of 5–10 at-will employees who are offered jobs as they are scheduled and choose to accept based on their availability. Our moving and warehouse operations are supported by contractor partners we work alongside on a regular basis. In both cases, we place high value on maintaining positive relationships, clear communication, and strong morale. The Assistant Manager plays a key role in fostering that culture — the ability to lead with respect and keep people engaged and motivated is essential.
