Assistant Store Manager Trainee / Manager-in-Training Description

Our client is looking for an Assistant Store Manager Trainee / Manager-in-Training to join their team in Glendive, MT. In this role, you will work closely with the Store Manager and leadership team to learn daily store operations, support team members, maintain department standards, and develop into a strong leader over time. You do not need to be a polished Assistant Store Manager on day one, but you must be dependable, hands-on, willing to step in wherever needed, coachable, comfortable working with people, and genuinely interested in learning how to lead others. This is a great opportunity for someone who takes pride in doing things the right way, communicates clearly, follows through, remains steady under pressure, and wants to build a long-term career with a stable, community-focused business.

** This role offers a chance to grow into a visible leadership position where your impact is felt daily. Glendive gives you the best of small town living – a lower cost of living, and a pace that lets you enjoy your time outside of work. With access to outdoor recreation like fishing, hiking, and wide open space in every direction, you get a lifestyle that’s hard to find in larger markets. Glendive is a great place to consider if you’re looking to trade traffic, high costs, and burnout for stability, leadership responsibility, and a better quality of life.**
