About The Position

The Shift Lead is an experienced team member who performs complex, high-impact tasks to support the customer shopping experience and steps in for store leadership when needed. The role balances back-of-house administrative responsibilities with hands-on store operations in a fast-paced environment where team members contribute to stocking shelves and keeping the store clean. When serving as Shift Lead, the employee runs assigned shifts in the absence of the Store Manager or Assistant Store Manager, helping ensure smooth and efficient operations, supporting front-end flow, and responding to customer concerns. The role also involves operational tasks such as inventory receiving, cold chain compliance, safe handling, price changes, returns processing, ordering, and timekeeping. The Shift Lead upholds store standards for cleanliness, freshness, product availability, and customer service; follows stock-handling processes to support availability and reduce shrink; and helps maintain timely, accurate task completion. The employee flexes among stocking, cleaning, and promotional merchandising as store needs require. The position offers starting pay of $20.50 per hour and may qualify for a $3-per-hour premium for qualifying shifts.
