Drive & Shine

Captain-Store Manager Job Description / Responsibilities

Total Comp: $100K+ (Base Salary and profit sharing included)

Lead the Team. Own the Experience. Grow the Business.

Drive & Shine is seeking a high-energy, people-first leader to manage one of our retail locations. As a Store Manager (also called "Captain"), you'll lead the entire site - from customer service and sales to staffing, scheduling, and operational excellence. This is a hands-on role designed for a service-minded professional who thrives in a fast-paced, team-driven environment.

We're not just looking for a manager. We're looking for someone who sees potential in others, builds winning teams, and takes pride in delivering unforgettable customer experience.

What We Are Looking For:

We hire people who are HUNGRY | HUMBLE | SMART

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead all operations within your Drive & Shine location

• Recruit, hire, train, and develop your team with a focus on attitude, performance, and culture fit

• Coach team members daily and conduct regular formal reviews

• Set and manage labor goals, team schedules, and budget targets

• Ensure equipment is functioning properly and proactively manage repairs and maintenance

• Maintain inventory and proactively order supplies to avoid downtime

• Deliver exceptional service and "wow" experiences for every customer

• Keep the facility spotless - clean, organized, and guest-ready always

• Handle customer concerns and feedback with professionalism

• Communicate clearly with executive leadership (COO/CEO) on progress and priorities

• Foster a culture where every team member feels valued and motivated to grow

Industries and Backgrounds We Love:

We've seen strong success from district-level leaders in:

• Car Washes or Automotive Services

• Retail Multi-Unit Management (convenience, big box, quick service)

• Restaurants and Hospitality Chains

• Sales-Driven Consumer Service Brands

Physical Requirements:

• Work outdoors in all weather conditions (under the canopy), including extremely hot or cold environments

• Stand and walk for extended periods of time

• Lift and/or carry 25 to 35 pounds regularly

• Grip, grasp, or twist using hands and wrists regularly

• Stack, reach, and load items above head height

• Work a ten-hour shift, if required

• Bend, crouch, and crawl to perform job duties frequently

• Understand hazardous communication and safety information

• Monitor quality of work through visual inspection, if required

• Understand directions for machine operation

• Basic computer skills to log information as needed


Requirements

Experienced Operators & Coaches:

• 5+ years of experience leading teams in retail, service, or restaurant environments

• Skilled in recruiting, training, and building high-performing teams

• Strong track record of achieving sales goals and delivering on KPIs

Hands-On Leaders:

• Willing to work side-by-side with your team daily

• Able to multitask, prioritize, and stay calm under pressure

• Thrive in a high-volume environment (up to 2,000 cars per day)

People-Focused & Performance-Driven:

• Passionate about helping others succeed

• Committed to creating a clean, organized, customer-first culture

• Take ownership like it's your name on the building

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses

• Paid vacations and holidays

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) plan

• College education assistance

• Profit sharing

• A company culture that values hustle, promotes from within, and supports leaders at every level

Drive & Shine Difference: We believe in leading from the front, creating opportunity through service, and building teams that feel like family. As a Captain, you don't just run a store - you set the tone, build the culture, and drive the success of your location.

Drive & Shine, LLC is an equal-opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
