We are seeking a motivated and skilled Backup Department Manager to join our team.

The role involves handling physical demands, such as frequent walking on various surfaces, lifting and carrying heavy objects, and occasional climbing or crawling when necessary. Flexibility to work all shifts and the capability to relocate to another store location are essential aspects of this job.

This position offers the opportunity to develop management skills in a supportive retail environment that values diversity and inclusion. Working closely with team members and customers, the Backup Department Manager is integral to achieving high standards of service, promoting teamwork, and maintaining an organized, clean, and safe department. Our company invests in our employees through ongoing training and development, ensuring that each team member can grow and succeed in their role.
