At Goodwill of North Georgia, we make a positive impact on our community by using donations and sales from our 100+ locations to help local job seekers find meaningful work. Join our team and work for an organization that will help you grow personally and professionally while giving you the satisfaction of knowing that your efforts are helping others reach their potential.

What you’ll be doing:

As an Assistant Store Manager, you will assist the Store Manager in running the store. This includes hiring, training, motivating, and supervising staff. You’ll lead meetings, help the store meet its customer and donor satisfaction standards, maintain displays and merchandising presentations, ensure that cash is handled according to policy, and drive the store towards meeting or exceeding its budgeted financial performance. Ongoing training is provided, and as you progress in your career, you may be offered the opportunity to transfer to other stores.

Requirements:

• 2+ years experience in supervision of 15 or more employees in food services, manufacturing, production, or retail. Alternatively, one year of supervisory experience with successful completion of Goodwill assigned training.
• Or a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Sales, Retail, Finance, Mathematics, Accounting, or Economics plus 1 year of supervisory experience in logistics, retail, warehouse, fast food, restaurants, B2B accounts, corporate/service industry, or any other relevant industry.
• Or 4+ years of military service with one or more years of supervisory experience in lieu of either of the above.
• Strong interpersonal and written communication skills.
• Demonstrated skills in operating personal computers, previous POS or sales systems, and various software packages including MS Office.
• A driver's license and dependable transportation and communication devices.

Preferences:

• Bilingual language skills are a plus.
• Previous military experience.

What you need to know: This is not like other retail jobs. Our products are gently donated items, which need to be unpacked, sorted, and displayed. The store manager needs to trust you to proactively address situations and resolve them. Thinking ahead and prioritizing are crucial skills here. You need to understand the in-store experience and be able to engage and motivate employees to deliver excellent customer service. We use computers, email, and Microsoft Office every day. If you’re someone who can keep an eye on the big picture while addressing the day-to-day work in front of you, you’ll do really well here.

Does this sound like a place for you? If so, please apply today. Our process takes about 15 minutes to complete. Once you do, our recruiting team will reach out to you within a few days. Thank you for your time and your interest in Goodwill of North Georgia.
