You’ll start as an Expo Lead , mastering the nerve center of our order flow, then progressively take on more responsibility as an Assistant Manager in Training.

Schedule & Availability:

Full-time availability required Evening and weekend shifts are standard during training Flexibility to shadow management hours as training advances Why GTK?
