Lead People. Set Standards. Drive Results:

At Sparkle Express, Assistant Managers are hands-on leaders — not task supervisors.

This role is for individuals who know how to run a shift, coach a team, and hold standards while still delivering a welcoming, high-energy guest experience. Our Assistant Managers set the pace for the site, support performance goals, and help build a culture people want to be part of.

If you’ve led teams before, understand sales accountability, and want a clear path into higher leadership, this is a role where your presence and decisions truly matter.

• Partner closely with the Site Manager to drive daily operations and results.
• Lead shifts independently, making real-time decisions and directing team members.
• Coach, train, and develop CSRs and site staff to deliver strong service and sales performance.
• Reinforce a service-driven, sales-accountable culture , especially around memberships.
• Actively coach team members on guest engagement and club plan conversion.
• Handle opening and closing duties, deposits, and operational checklists.
• Maintain site standards for cleanliness, safety, and efficiency.
• Address performance issues professionally and consistently.

Who This Role Is For:

This role is best suited for leaders who already have experience guiding teams. You’re someone who:

• Has previous supervisory or assistant management experience.
• Is confident giving direction, feedback, and coaching in real time.
• Communicates clearly and professionally with both guests and team members.
• Stays calm, focused, and decisive in fast-paced environments.
• Understands how strong service directly impacts sales performance.
• Is comfortable being accountable for results, not just effort.
• Has experience in retail, hospitality, food service, or customer-facing leadership.
• Has sales experience and can coach others to meet goals.

Pay & Leadership Growth:

• $18/hour base pay , with additional earning potential through active club plan sales.
• Defined advancement path into Site Manager and District leadership roles.
• Paid, hands-on management training focused on real-world leadership skills.
• Ongoing development in people management, performance execution, and accountability.
• A leadership team that supports, challenges, and invests in strong performers.
