About the job

The Assistant Bakery Operations Manager (ABOM) is a pivotal leadership role aimed at cultivating the next generation of Bakery Operations Managers. ABOMs are expected to perform at a near-BOM capacity, executing bakery operations with urgency, precision, and accountability while honing the leadership skills necessary for independent bakery management.

This position seamlessly integrates hands-on operational excellence with talent development, administrative oversight, and team leadership. ABOMs serve as a vital extension of the BOM and must be prepared to assume full bakery ownership when required.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Operational Execution
• Oversee all core bakery operations including inventory management, scheduling support, staffing coordination, and administrative tasks.
• Ensure strict compliance with product quality, cleanliness, food safety, and customer experience standards.
• Assist in ordering, maintaining inventory accuracy, and managing shrink control.
• Help create schedules and execute labor plans to achieve operational goals.

Talent & Team Development
• Aid in the recruitment, interviewing, onboarding, and training of new team members.
• Provide consistent coaching and immediate performance feedback.
• Hold team members accountable to established standards while fostering a culture of growth and development.
• Ensure training and onboarding programs align with company standards.

Leadership & Ownership
• Independently manage bakery operations in the absence of the BOM.
• Exemplify urgency, accountability, and operational discipline.
• Collaborate with the BOM and Area leadership to identify operational gaps and implement effective solutions.
• Maintain operational continuity during leadership transitions or staffing shortages.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:
• Successfully execute all BOM-level administrative and operational tasks independently.
• Ensure the bakery is fully staffed, trained, and operating at optimal standards.
• Foster a robust culture of accountability and consistency.
• Act as a dependable operational leader during any coverage scenario.
• Demonstrate clear readiness for upward mobility into a BOM role.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE:
• Minimum of 1 year of leadership experience in restaurant, retail, or hospitality environments.
• Strong operational discipline and meticulous attention to detail.
• Proven ability to coach and develop hourly team members.
• Comfortable in fast-paced, high-volume settings.
• Capable of performing all bakery roles during peak business periods.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
