Grocery Manager in Training

Grocery Manager In Training At Mom's

The Grocery Manager In Training (GMIT) program provides a structured and supported framework to grow Mom's future Grocery Managers. It is an opportunity to gain professional development by receiving quality training with consistent feedback and coaching. As a Mom's leader you can positively affect our store environment, customer experience, and influence the future direction of the company.

How the GMIT Program Works:

Focus on Leadership

The GMIT program focuses on building Mom's future leaders by putting the emphasis on leadership training. To do so, an Individual Development Plan (IDP) will be formulated with learning goals and regularly scheduled check-ins to track progress. Mastering tasks, such as ordering and schedule writing will be an integral part of your development as a future leader.

Length of Program

The IDP will be developed to a 12-18 month timeframe. Most candidates will be on a 12 month plan, but it can be shorter depending on experience and other factors.

Working in multiple stores

During the program the GMIT will most likely work in a minimum of two stores. Working in multiple stores allows the GMIT to gain experience with varying sales volumes, learn to work with different management styles, and have exposure addressing a variety of unique challenges faced at Mom's locations. Due to the proximity of stores, a maximum of an hour commute is expected. For some program applicants, access to public transportation to multiple store locations may be a challenge. Please let us know your specific situation when filling out your application so that we can consider your situation and needs fairly.

Scheduling Expectations

The ability to perform effectively throughout all stages of the daily workflow is imperative. With this in mind, GMIT's will be expected to maintain open scheduling availability, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends.

Rigor

The GMIT program will require the candidate to stretch themselves and be held accountable. During this process the GMIT will be supported with weekly, daily, and quarterly check-ins with their Department Manager/GM and Specialist/Director to provide guidance and the tools to succeed.

Compensation

Grocery Managers in training will earn $24.00/hour for the duration of the program.
