About The Position

The District Manager in Training (DMIT) role is a store-based leadership development position designed to prepare high-potential leaders for future District Manager roles at Red White & Blue Thrift. This role provides progressive, hands-on exposure to critical thrift leadership functions in various market locations—including Retail Manager, Production Manager, and General Manager-level store leadership—prior to assuming responsibility for a multi-unit district. The DMIT program reflects the unique complexity of thrift operations and is intentionally structured to build deep operational credibility, financial acumen, and people leadership capability. Progression through the program is based on demonstrated mastery and readiness rather than time alone. This role is ideal for a high-performing Store Manager ready for the next step or an early-tenure District Manager seeking deeper thrift-specific experience.
