THINK BIG. BE BRAVE. HAVE FUN!
The Jack Rabbit/Running Specialty Group is a retailer headquartered in Cherry Creek North that focuses on customers looking for high quality running shoes, apparel and accessories. We operate over 60 stores in 18 states under several store brands including the Boulder Running Company here in Colorado. The recent divestiture from the Finish Line has given us the opportunity to build a new Accounting department as we want it designed. Over the next 3-5 months we will implement our new accounting software (Netsuite) and transition the back office accounting processes currently being supported by Finish Line.
At JackRabbit, our team doesn?t just sling running shoes and gear. We are a team that is committed to our community by inspiring, motivating and educating people old and young, fast or slow on their paths to fitness and athletic achievement. Our team members are more than just employees; we are brand ambassadors, walking billboards, living and breathing Google searches on ?running in your local area.? We walk the walk and talk the talk. We dream about how we can serve our customers better and obsess over ways to make sure that everyone we encounter is invited to join our tribe and be a part of our local running community. We have hustle, whether it?s on the sales floor, at community running events, at the local coffee shop, or even on the dance floor. We have spirit, passion and fire in our belly.
We are looking for a staff accountant to help with the NetSuit implementation and handle the day-to-day accounting functions.
