About the job

The Assistant Bakery Operations Manager (ABOM) plays a crucial role in shaping the future of our Bakery Operations Managers. This leadership position is designed to cultivate the next generation of bakery leaders, requiring ABOMs to operate with the same standards as a Bakery Operations Manager (BOM). Responsibilities include executing bakery operations with a strong focus on urgency, accuracy, and accountability while building essential leadership skills for independent bakery management.

In this dynamic role, you will blend hands-on operational excellence with talent development, administrative responsibilities, and team leadership. As an ABOM, you will act as a reliable extension of the BOM, fully prepared to assume bakery ownership when the need arises. Join us at our San Francisco location at 2 Varela Ave. Suite No. 2 San Francisco, CA 94132.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Operational Execution
• Oversee core bakery operations, including inventory management, scheduling support, staffing coordination, and maintaining administrative checklists.
• Ensure strict adherence to product quality, cleanliness, food safety, and exceptional guest experience standards.
• Assist in managing orders, accuracy of inventory, and shrink control measures.
• Collaborate in creating schedules and executing labor plans to meet operational goals.

Talent & Team Development
• Participate in the recruitment, interviewing, onboarding, and training processes for new employees.
• Provide consistent coaching and immediate performance feedback to team members.
• Foster a culture of accountability while encouraging a growth mindset among staff.
• Ensure onboarding and training programs align with company standards.

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

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:
• Proficiently execute all BOM-level administrative and operational tasks independently.
• Ensure the bakery is fully staffed, well-trained, and consistently operating at high standards.
• Cultivate a strong culture of accountability and consistency within the team.
• Serve as a dependable operational leader during any coverage scenario.
• Demonstrate clear readiness for upward mobility towards a BOM role.

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