About The Position

Bi-Mart is seeking a dependable, motivated leader to join its Store Team as a Swing Shift Department Manager. This is a working leadership position responsible for leading a department during afternoon and evening hours while providing exceptional customer service and supporting daily store operations. The manager works alongside the team to assist customers, stock merchandise, maintain attractive displays, replenish inventory, and keep the department clean, organized, and ready for business.
