First and foremost, you will lead a team whose responsibility it is to delight every single customer who walks through our doors! You will understand how to build and execute a marketing plan, constantly looking for ways to partner with new customers and develop new relationships. You’ll understand how to run a good, effective business, and you’ll manage both the front and back of house operation. You will discover and execute opportunities to improve store efficiency while never compromising on customer service. You will grow and develop existing store talent, with a key focus on building a team culture that embraces continuous improvement while having fun. Most importantly, you will represent our brand every day in the community and while you’re in the store.
Who you are…
You are a highly motivated, extremely personable, servant leader who understands the needs of and has worked in a busy retail operation. You understand how to execute a “lean and mean business plan”. You’ve had experience managing diverse teams and you understand how to maximize the potential of every team member. You’re organized, thoughtful and you understand attention to detail. You’re crafty, and you’ll know how to respond quickly to meet deadlines. You understand how to run a business if it were your own, wisely spending and investing each dollar. You will also have a strong sense of humor, as we like to laugh and have fun! Our ideal candidate has experience in business development and community relations. You will also need a driver’s license and at least 2 professional references.
How you will grow…
No bakery experience? No problem! While it’s a huge plus to have worked in a retail business focused on food, we can teach you. You will receive on the job training and have a direct reporting relationship with the owners of the store. You’ll learn our operations end-to-end, and you will try your hand in all of the areas of our business. You will receive a competitive salary and a commitment from us to invest in your development as a manager. Did we mention some free cake tastes and a great discount on our products?
