POSITION SUMMARY

Ready to lead, grow, and help shape the future of America’s Thrift? As an Assistant Store Manager (Bench) with America’s Thrift, you’ll step into a full-time leadership role designed to support our continued growth and expansion.

As an Assistant Store Manager (Bench) (ASMB) with America’s Thrift each day will be filled with challenging and exciting work where every day is different! ASMBs are responsible for inspiring their leadership team and team members to live out the America’s Thrift Mission and Values while upholding the company culture.

ASMBs empower their team while creating an environment for personal and professional growth. The ASMB must have the ability to accomplish profitability through managing operations such as budgeting, financial reporting, profit and loss, identification of high-quality donated items, loss prevention, product quality control, product pricing, and building community rapport with an emphasis on customer relations. Ultimately, you build your team: hiring, training, and developing team members.
