Job Description

Day-to-Day

A fast-growing, family-owned wholesale distribution company is hiring an Assistant store manager to support expansion at its San Jose location. This is a high-impact, promotable leadership role built to develop future Store Managers through a structured training program and direct mentorship from Branch and District leadership.

You will oversee a team of 3–4 direct reports across sales counter, warehouse, and driver functions in a casual, team-oriented environment that is highly focused on customer service (100%) and operational execution. This role is ideal for someone stepping into higher-level leadership (ex: Assistant Manager level) who wants clear upward mobility in a company that promotes from within.

 

Key responsibilities include:

  • Overseeing daily branch sales and customer experience
  • Mentoring, coaching, and developing a small but impactful team
  • Driving a customer-first culture and leading by example on the sales floor
  • Supporting branch performance goals (sales, margin, and operations)
  • Managing inventory, workflows, and adherence to SOPs
  • Partnering closely with leadership on process improvements and growth initiatives

This position is open due to company growth, creating strong long-term advancement opportunities into Store Manager-level leadership.

 

Must-Haves

  • 3+ years of supervisory experience (Assistant Manager or similar leadership role)
  • Fluent in Spanish and English (required for customer and team communication)
  • Background in customer-facing environments (retail, hospitality, warehouse/distribution)
  • Experience overseeing sales performance and team productivity
  • High-energy, fast communicator with strong interpersonal skills
  • Proven ability to mentor, motivate, and lead a small team
  • Comfortable working in a hands-on, blue-collar or warehouse setting
  • Strong organizational skills with ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment

 

Plusses

  • Experience in wholesale distribution or construction-related industries
  • Exposure to inventory management systems and SOP-driven operations
  • History of growing into leadership roles quickly (high-potential candidates)
  • Experience managing P&L, budgets, or branch-level KPIs
