Assistant General Manager

BuyWander•Denver, CO

14d•$70,000 - $75,000

About The Position

The Assistant General Manager (AGM) is the operational owner of store execution and inventory flow at BuyWander. This is a distinct leadership position, not a junior General Manager role. The AGM owns each unit entering the building until it is accurately processed, stored, picked, staged, and ready for the customer. Working closely with the General Manager, the AGM translates business expectations into daily warehouse execution and ensures problems are identified, owned, and resolved before they become building-level emergencies. The AGM leads the inbound-to-fulfillment flow across a multimillion-dollar fulfillment and distribution operation, developing warehouse supervisors and associates and maintaining accountability for throughput, accuracy, labor efficiency, team development, and consistent results. The position operates throughout a warehouse and office setting, and may involve indoor and outdoor work as business needs require. It requires sustained physical activity, including extended standing and walking, frequent bending and reaching, and repeatedly lifting, carrying, and moving up to 50 pounds. Employees may encounter varying weather and environmental conditions and are expected to follow safety policies and use appropriate protective equipment. BuyWander is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are based on qualifications, skills, merit, and business needs. Applicants must reside and work in the United States and be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future employer sponsorship.
