Assistant Store Manager Trainee - Store Admin

Assistant Store Manager

Born in the DMV, Giant Food has proudly served our communities for over 90 years. From our first store on Georgia Avenue to becoming the #1 grocer in the Baltimore-Washington area, we've stayed rooted in what matters most-our people and our neighborhoods. Today, we operate more than 160 stores across D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware, continuing our mission to be the most trusted and loved local food retailer.

At Giant, our purpose goes beyond the aisles. We actively partner with community organizations to enrich the lives of our neighbors and create meaningful impact where we live and work. When you join Giant, you become part of a culture built on three core commitments:
Grow, Care, and Belong.

If you love building teams, thinking on your feet and leading by example, a Store Leadership role is your chance to make an impact. You'll set the tone for our store, empower associates and keep everything running smoothly, so customers look forward to coming back. Experienced big-box supermarket managers and assistant managers are encouraged to apply.

Giant is hiring Assistant Store Managers! We want proven, experienced store leaders with a passion for customer service and a knack for driving sales. ASMs are responsible for day-to-day operation and development of their store, including customer service, training and development of all store associates, labor management, inventory control, asset protection, shrink, store conditions, and performance management.

Giant food has three ASM classifications, including Customer Service Manager (CSM);
