Assistant Manager – Retail Operations (Liquor Store)
Full-Time | Dickinson, ND
Pay: $17–$23/hour DOE reliability motivation

We’re a busy, family-owned liquor store seeking a dependable, hands-on Assistant Manager – Retail Operations to help lead the store, support the team, and keep day-to-day operations running smoothly.

Join a business where hard work is noticed, loyalty is rewarded, and you’re treated like a human being — not a number. Our owners are generous with those who are dependable and committed — and it shows in how we treat our employees. We all pitch in, and nobody is “too good” to stock a shelf or sweep the floor. Respect and teamwork go both ways here — and we value people who take initiative and show up ready to work.

Schedule & Pay

  • Full-time (38–40 hours/week)
  • Alternating schedule: Monday–Friday one week, Tuesday–Saturday the next
  • Hours: 10:00 AM–6:00 PM with a 30-minute unpaid lunch

Note: Saturday shifts are typically 8:30 AM–4:00 PM, but may occasionally be 4:00 PM–11:00 PM

  • $17–$23/hour, depending on experience, reliability, and motivation
  • Performance-based raises available after 6 months

What You’ll Do

  • Provide friendly, knowledgeable customer service
  • Open and close the store with confidence
  • Support freight check-in, stocking, inventory, and merchandising
  • Lead by example and help enforce store expectations and policies
  • Assist in onboarding and training new staff
  • Help implement operational systems and improvements
  • Take initiative to solve problems and keep things running smoothly
  • Cover for the store manager when needed

What We’re Looking For

  • Must be at least 21 years old
  • Reliable and punctual — we don’t micromanage, so we need someone who will show up and do their job
  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs, stock shelves, and move quickly when needed
  • Calm under pressure and motivated to take ownership
  • Friendly and respectful with customers and coworkers
  • Comfortable with hands-on tasks and jumping in where needed
  • Retail or customer service experience strongly preferred
  • Management or keyholder experience a plus — but we’ll train the right person
  • Background check may be required

Benefits

  • 12 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) per year (1 day earned each full month worked)
  • 3 additional unpaid days off per year
  • 50% of individual health insurance premium paid after 60 days
  • 3% retirement match after 1 year
  • Supportive leadership, clear expectations, and a workplace where hard work is appreciated

This Might Not Be the Right Fit If:

  • You dislike being on your feet most of the day
  • You have trouble following through or ignoring your cellphone for a couple hours
  • You’re not comfortable enforcing store policies with customers or coworkers
  • You prefer to be told what to do every step of the way

To apply: Send your resume and a short note about why you'd be a great fit.
Bonus points if you include a quick example of a time you went above and beyond at work.
We’re hiring immediately and will begin interviewing any strong applications that we see right away.
