Job Description

Job Title: Manager in Training (MIT)

Employment Type: Full-Time (Non-Exempt)

 

The Opportunity:

Our Jiffy Lube Store Managers are responsible for driving overall business performance, leading high-performing teams, and delivering an exceptional guest experience. To set our leaders up for success, every Store Manager begins in our Manager-in-Training (MIT) program — a structured, hands-on training experience that prepares you to take full ownership of a store. Through MIT, you'll learn our operations, systems, and leadership standards from the ground up before stepping into the Store Manager role. This is a results-driven leadership track where you will ultimately take ownership of your store's success — including sales, profitability, team development, and operational execution. If you are a strong leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is motivated by performance, accountability, and growth — this is your opportunity to make an impact.
