Assistant District Manager

Assistant District Manager (Multi-Unit Operations)

Ben & Jerry's - Hoboken, Ridgewood & Riverwalk, NJ

We are hiring an experienced Assistant District Manager to help lead three high-volume Ben & Jerry's scoop shops in New Jersey. This is a hands‑on, multi‑unit leadership role for someone who thrives in fast‑paced food/retail environments, holds teams accountable, and understands how to drive results through people and process.

This role is not entry‑level management. You will be on the floor, in the numbers, and actively developing managers and teams across locations.

• Full‑time, in‑shop role (Spring‑Fall peak season)
• 5 long shifts per week (10‑11 hours/day)
• Nights, weekends, and holidays required
• Travel between Hoboken, Ridgewood & Riverwalk (mileage reimbursed)

If you're looking for a desk job or a set Monday‑Friday schedule, this role will not be the right fit.

• Salary: $70,000-$75,000
• Health insurance
• Accrued PTO
• Mileage reimbursement between locations
• Clear growth path within a values‑driven, multi‑unit franchise group

• Supporting daily operations across multiple shops: staffing, scheduling, training, and execution
• Coaching and developing 25-40 team members, including shift leads and managers
• Being hands‑on during peak periods, stepping in where support is needed
• Upholding brand standards for customer experience, food safety, cleanliness, and equipment
• Overseeing cake orders, catering, and local events execution
• Managing inventory, labor costs, payroll accuracy, and expense control
• Reviewing reports, identifying issues, and partnering with leadership on solutions

• 2+ years of management experience in food service or retail
• (Multi‑unit or high‑volume experience strongly preferred)
• Proven ability to lead teams, manage performance, and give direct feedback
• Strong organizational and time‑management skills across multiple locations
• Comfort working long shifts, being on your feet, and moving between shops
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel locally
• Values‑aligned leader who takes ownership and follows through
