We are seeking a versatile, high-energy Assistant Manager to serve as a strategic partner to our ownership team. As an independently owned franchise and family-run business just six months into our journey, we are poised to advance into the next stage of growth and possibility. We aren't just looking for another employee; we are looking for a key member of our extended family who wants to help us build a lasting legacy. In this pivotal role, you will bridge the gap between our Front of House (Shipping & Customer Service) and Back of House (Design & Print Production) while helping us increase to new service lines. We need a leader who can drive operational excellence, develop sustainable systems from the ground up, and foster a joyful, high-performing culture. You won’t just be working in the business; you will be helping to shape and direct it, working hand-in-hand with store ownership. You will help us become known as a leader for print quality and efficiency; an expert in shipping and logistics; and as a hub for innovation and community in Lakewood. Note: We take pride in serving our diverse Belmar neighborhood; therefore, bilingual fluency (English/Spanish) is strongly preferred for this leadership role.
