Assistant Manager

At Box Lunch, we’re committed using our love of pop culture to do something amazing: eliminate hunger. With every $10 spent, we donate a meal to Feeding America that directly benefits the communities we are in.

We’re on the search for a Full‑Time Assistant Manager that will help lead our civic‑minded, pop culture driven brand. You’ll support the Store Manager in achieving store objectives with regards to hitting sales targets, recruiting, and development. You’re Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker rolled into one; you can handle anything that comes your way while driving sales and building lifelong relationships with our customers.

• Support your Store Manager in achieving the sales plan and/or comp sales goals.
• Help recruit, develop, and retain a super collaborative, passionate team to run your store alongside you.
• Be the store’s #1 fan – create buzz and customer engagement through promotion of new products, use social media platforms, and additional benefits such as BOPIS and curbside pickup.
• Provide leadership around running an operationally sound business; bring the right balance of ops, delegation/autonomy, and customer‑first selling practices.
• Keep watch on shrink/loss prevention, payroll hours, and associate schedules.
• Collaboratively communicate with retail leadership and HQ partners on trends and customer feedback.
• Run sales reports and use data to help guide your strategy to hit sales targets.
• Merchandise the store in a compelling way, leveraging planograms as a guide, while launching all promos on time.
• In partnership with your Store Manager, develop your team of loyal associates that are high‑performing and customer‑focused.

• At least 1‑2 years of retail store management experience. If you’re passionate about philanthropy & all things pop culture, you’re in the right place.
• Led teams to success and want to experience more. You’ll have skills to pay the bills: communication, recruiting, operations (payroll, reporting, scheduling, merchandising), and be a developer of your peeps.
• Have Avenger‑like skills: communication, time management, professionalism, operations, and a drive to develop your peeps.
• Be at least 18 years of age to join the fandom force.
• Have a high school diploma or GED equivalent. A degree is a plus.
• Roll with the punches. Retail is a fast‑changing industry and you like catching curveballs thrown your way.
• Handle the usual retail stuff (with or without reasonable accommodation): navigate the store, merchandise product utilizing approved store equipment, and pack/unpack boxes of merch that may weigh up to 50 pounds.

Please note the pay range for this position starts as listed in the job posting, but other factors such as an individual’s education, location, meeting the minimum job requirements for the role, training, and experience, will determine the final salary for potential new hires.
