Team Lead

A Team Lead shows a passion for our business, is growing in their ability to manage
and direct others, enjoys both the site operations and guest experience aspects of the business,
and has natural strengths for engaging with customers. Our Leads thrive on taking on more
responsibility and are comfortable making decisions in the moment when direction is not
provided.

Team Leads are not afraid to make a decision, and they enjoy the challenge of making others on
the team as successful as possible. They observe what is happening each moment throughout
the day and ensure that all aspects of our routines are completed well. They show exemplary
customer service and have an observant eye to ensure wash quality and safe wash operations
are consistent throughout the day.

Team Leads show promising management potential. They are comfortable being the "go to" when
in the leadership role at the site. They can be the first point of escalation, and they are willing to
go the extra mile to ensure every day. They are responsible for maintaining focus and embracing
Carriage House's organizational values (House Values), mission, vision, and purpose. Promote our values...

"Live by our H.O.U.S.E values" (Helpful, Observant, Urgency, Safety and
