The company places a strong emphasis on leadership development, operational excellence, and delivering excellent member experiences, making it a top choice for retail professionals seeking dynamic opportunities and career growth within the wholesale retail industry.
The Assistant Club Manager in Training (AMIT) role at BJ's Wholesale Club is a comprehensive leadership development position designed to prepare emerging leaders for key management roles within club operations. The AMIT works in close partnership with the Club Manager to deliver exceptional business performance and drive operational success in designated departments such as Merchandising, Perishables, or Member Experience.

A valid ServSafe Food Safety Certification is mandatory, with required maintenance and possible additional certifications depending on the location, such as forklift operation or retail propane oversight in Florida.
This role requires strong communication skills, a results-oriented approach, and the ability to build and motivate high-performing teams while fostering a culture of growth and inclusion. The successful candidate will be expected to deliver consistent results by managing labor and supply costs, optimizing inventory control, and ensuring the highest customer service standards are upheld. BJ's offers a competitive starting salary of $61,500 for this position, alongside a comprehensive benefits package that supports employee well-being and professional development.
