We’re hiring a Manager in Training (MIT) to support retail store operations while preparing for future leadership opportunities. This hands‑on role provides experience in tire and automotive service sales, customer engagement, and operational excellence.

Pay Range: $17.50 - $26.30

Bridgestone is committed to fair and lawful compensation practices. All employees receive pay that meets or exceeds the applicable minimum wage requirements.

This 90‑day training program is designed to prepare candidates for promotion to Store Manager. During this period, the MIT must:

• Successfully complete all required training modules
• Demonstrate the necessary competencies and leadership behaviors

If all program requirements are met, the MIT will be assigned to a Store Manager role—ideally within a reasonable distance of the candidate’s geographical location or within the market where the training program occurred. If no location is agreed upon at placement consideration, the MIT may be placed in a Professional Service Manager (PSM) role within the market.

If program requirements are not met, reassignment to a PSM role may occur with a pay adjustment. If no Store Manager opening is available, the MIT will remain in the role until one becomes available.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support daily store operations including inventory, merchandising, and customer service.
• Learn to lead and coach teammates, assist with scheduling, and contribute to team development.

• Participate in physical store duties such as unloading shipments, changing tires, and maintaining cleanliness.

• Prior management experience
• Leadership & development experience with multi‑person direct reports
