Assistant Manager

Your local Ace Hardware is in search of an Assistant Manager who is ready to own their position and be a positive leader for our team. Assistant Managers are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the sales floor. They motivate the folks around them and delegate daily tasks, along with ensuring the checkout process is always running smoothly for customers and cashiers. The customer experience is the focus of all Ace Hardware employees, and the AM is responsible for assisting employees in providing that experience.
