Help Lead a Store with a Soul! Store Assistant Manager - Many Hands Thrift
Are you a retail leader who wants more than just a "job"? At Many Hands Thrift, every sale, every donation, and every interaction fuels a greater mission. We are looking for a high-energy, organized, and people-focused Store Assistant Manager to help lead our team and drive impact in our community at our Grimes Store.
As the "right hand" to the Store Manager, you’ll be the glue that holds our daily operations together—from the backroom sorting area to the social media feed and the front checkout line.
What You'll be Doing:
You won't just be managing the floor, you'll be cultivating a collaborative environment where staff and volunteers feel supported and customers feel valued. Your day-to-day will involve:
- Leading the Team: Provide support for hiring, training, mentoring and bringing the most out of a diverse group of staff and volunteers. You’ll oversee daily workflows and ensure everyone is set up for success.
- Operational Excellence: Keeping the engine running by managing weekly schedules, ensuring bank deposits are made, and overseeing the intake and processing of donated goods.
- Customer & Community Engagement: Building a loyal customer base through top-tier service and managing our Facebook and social media presence to keep our fans engaged.
- Maintaining our Standards: Ensuring the store is clean, displays are fresh, and the environment reflects our core values of integrity and respect.
