Asian Family Market is launching a brand-new Asian deli department at our Tukwila store, and we're looking for an experienced Deli Manager to build it from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to shape a new department from day one — from menu and vendor selection to hiring and training the team that will run it.

• Lead the setup and launch of the new Asian deli department, including layout, equipment, and workflow planning
• Develop and manage the deli menu — roast meats (char siu, roast duck, etc.), prepared hot foods, salads, bento/to-go items, and other Asian deli specialties
• Source ingredients and manage vendor relationships specific to the deli program
• Hire, train, and supervise deli staff; build out scheduling and staffing plans
• Ensure full compliance with food safety regulations, health codes, and proper food handling certifications
• Manage inventory, ordering, waste control, and department costs
• Set pricing and work with store leadership on promotions and merchandising for the deli case
• Own the department's P&L and report on sales performance and margins
• Maintain quality and consistency standards as the department scales

• Proven experience managing a deli, prepared foods, or hot food department (Asian deli experience strongly preferred)
• Experience launching or building out a new department or program is a big plus
• Current food safety manager certification (or ability to obtain one)
• Strong leadership and staff management skills
• Comfortable owning budget, ordering, and P&L responsibility for the department
• Bilingual in Mandarin or Cantonese strongly preferred, given the department's focus
• Hands-on, willing to work the floor alongside the team, especially during launch
