Assistant Store Manager

Our bakery located in Lubbock, TX, is a dynamic and fast-paced establishment committed to delivering high-quality bakery products with exemplary guest service. Situated at 1301 University Ave, this bakery prides itself on maintaining operational excellence, fostering a supportive work environment, and nurturing talented individuals to grow into leadership roles. The bakery operates with an emphasis on product quality, cleanliness, food safety, and a memorable customer experience, making it a distinguished establishment within the community.

We are currently seeking an Assistant Bakery Operations Manager (ABOM) to join our leadership team. This role is designed as a leadership development pipeline to cultivate the next generation of Bakery Operations Managers. The ABOM will operate at a level close to the Bakery Operations Manager (BOM), executing all core bakery functions with urgency, accuracy, and accountability while simultaneously developing the leadership competencies necessary to manage the bakery independently. This position is a balance of hands-on operational execution, administrative oversight, team leadership, and talent development.

The ABOM will take on responsibilities that include overseeing inventory rotation, assisting with staff scheduling and coordination, and ensuring adherence to product quality and food safety protocols. The individual will also support inventory accuracy and shrink control, help in labor planning, and collaborate with the leadership team to identify and resolve operational inefficiencies.

In addition to operational tasks, the ABOM will play a critical role in talent management by participating in recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and training new bakery staff. They will provide consistent coaching and performance feedback to foster a culture of accountability and continuous improvement, helping team members grow and succeed in their roles.

This role requires the ability to manage bakery operations independently in the absence of the BOM, demonstrating leadership by modeling urgency, accountability, and operational discipline. The ABOM will partner with the BOM and area leadership to ensure smooth operations during staffing fluctuations and management transitions. Success in this role is measured by the ability to independently execute all Bakery Operations Manager-level responsibilities, maintain a fully staffed and high-performing team, and develop a culture of consistency and accountability.

Our bakery offers competitive pay and bonus eligibility, along with medical, dental, vision, and pet insurance benefits. We provide paid vacation, wellness days, and opportunities for career advancement within our leadership pipeline. The work environment is engaging and fast-paced, emphasizing team camaraderie and mutual support. Employees enjoy perks such as free cookies during shifts and the chance to contribute meaningfully to an establishment dedicated to excellence in bakery operations and customer satisfaction.
