  • Train and certify team trainers, ensuring they are prepared to support new store openings and deliver consistent onboarding to new hires
  • Actively mentor and coach managers-in-training, preparing them for potential transfers or leadership roles at other locations
  • Serve as a hands-on role model leader, modeling company values and reinforcing performance standards that promote personal and professional growth
  • Partner with the Senior Operations Leader to align workload initiatives, projects, staffing, scheduling, and team development to support current operations and prepare for future expansion
  • Lead execution of pilot programs, provide actionable feedback, and help shape best practices for company-wide rollout
