Job Description
About the Position We are looking for a highly organized, ambitious and hands-on Operations Assistant to work directly with leadership and help us improve the systems behind our stores and warehouse while also improving sales and customer experience. This is NOT a traditional administrative assistant position. We are specifically interested in someone who has worked inside a grocery store, supermarket, meat market, produce department, food market or similar high-volume retail environment. This could be the right opportunity if you are currently a:
- Produce Assistant Manager
- Meat Market Assistant Manager

- Meat Market Lead
- Receiving or Inventory Lead
- Assistant Department Manager …and you're ready to learn more than just one department and gain exposure to overall retail operations.

- Improving inventory accuracy
- Receiving and product-control processes
- Replenishment and preventing out-of-stocks
- Warehouse-to-store transfers
- Product rotation and shrink control

- Taking projects from problem → solution → implementation → follow-up We Want Someone Who Thinks in Systems If something is constantly out of stock, you don't just refill it.
You ask:
Why did it happen? Was ordering wrong? Was inventory wrong? Was the warehouse not replenishing? Was the store not communicating? Is the system missing a minimum stock level? Then you help build a process so the problem doesn't keep happening. That's the type of person we're looking for. Sales & Customer Service Matter We're not looking for someone who only understands inventory. The right person should also understand that retail is about the customer.You should be comfortable:
- Talking with customers
- Coaching employees
- Improving product presentation
- Identifying what customers are asking for
- Helping improve average transactions
- Creating better product recommendations
- Looking at a store through the customer's eyes Technology You need to be comfortable learning and working with:
- POS systems
- Inventory software
- Barcode/scanning systems
- Excel / Google Sheets
- Reports and dashboards
- Retail technology You should be comfortable communicating problems to software developers or vendors and helping test whether solutions actually work in the operation.
