Job description

Lead the Blend — Become a Jamba Shift Manager!

Our Mission

Making eating better, easier, and way more fun.

Your Mission

Bring that vision to life—every single shift.

Since Y2K, Jamba has been a go-to lifestyle favorite, serving up refreshing smoothies, ono acai bowls, and signature flavors guests know and love. Now we’re growing our Ohana and inviting passionate, people-focused leaders to step into a Shift Manager role.

If you’re ready to blend leadership with good vibes, this is your moment.

As a Shift Manager, you’re more than a supervisor—you’re the heartbeat of the store. When the General Manager or Assistant Manager is away, you keep the operation running smoothly, the team motivated, and guests leaving happy (and refreshed!).

What You’ll Do

• Lead the team and be the go-to decision maker during your shift
• Maintain high standards for food quality, service, cleanliness, and safety
• Motivate and support team members to deliver exceptional guest experiences
• Troubleshoot challenges—team needs, guest concerns, or supplier issues
• Know when and how to elevate matters to store leadership

Perks You’ll Love

• Key holder opportunities with open/close responsibilities
• Flexible schedules with 20–40 hours per week
• Free on-duty meals + employee discounts on Jamba favorites
• Whirl’d Class training and growth opportunities
• Free uniforms
• Eligible benefits may include: health insurance, life insurance, and 401(k)

What We’re Looking For

• Must be 18 years or older
• 3–6 months of first-line supervisory experience preferred
• Flexible availability (weeknights, weekends, and holidays)
• TB clearance required
• Ability to stand, bend, scoop, and stay active throughout your shift
• Comfortable working in cold environments (walk-in fridge/freezer)
• Basic math and computer skills (Microsoft, POS systems)
• Ability to taste-test products for quality
• Cash handling and customer service experience a plus
• Food handler certification (current or obtained within 30 days)
• High school diploma or equal experience
• Comfortable using smartphones, tablets, and POS technology
• General knowledge of food service or nutrition terms is a bonus

Ready to Lead with Flavor?

Join the Jamba Ohana and blend your passion, leadership, and future with us.
