What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant Grocery Manager position at Sunflower Market?
Love retail management but want a better work-life balance? Want to actually look forward to coming into work? Check us out! We're a family-run store that puts a huge emphasis on a strong work-life balance. No early mornings or late nights. Closed on major holidays (including Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc). Plus, we offer paid time off that begins accruing on DAY 1. Sound interesting? Wanna know more?
We are looking for an experienced leader that is highly skilled in product merchandising and has a good head (and heart) for managing a large amount of product in through the back door, onto the sales floor, and all the way out the front door. This is not a desk job.
Sounds easy, so what’s the big deal, right? The big deal is that this is a fun but feisty and face-paced business that will be a new challenge every day. We’re not like other grocery stores…we are a liquidation outlet, and we experience large fluctuations in the amount of product that we have on hand on any given week, so we have an experienced crew to evaluate, price, and shelve all of these amazing products. This is not a desk job.
Both leadership and grocery experience are preferred. They go hand in hand, considering that a leader must have credibility to be able to lead, and your experience will give you the credibility that this job requires. Again, we have a good staff, and to be able to both lead and serve them requires that credibility. This is not a desk job.
We are growing and looking for a leader to serve and assist the rest of the team so they can function like the rock stars that they are. We have 3 locations, all opened in the last 6 years. This is a great opportunity to grow with a flourishing business.
