Store Manager

Alright, let's talk about the Store Manager role at Dollar General in Brooklyn, NY.

This is the job where you run the show. You're accountable for everything that happens in the store, from the team you build to the numbers on the report. It's a lot, but it's all yours.

What you'll do

• You’re building and leading the team. That means recruiting, hiring, training, and making sure everyone knows what they’re doing.
• Performance management is part of it too; evaluations, coaching, and handling any necessary counseling or terminations.
• A big piece is managing payroll; you'll make recommendations on employee pay rates and promotions.
• Keeping everyone on the same page about safety, security, and company policy is your responsibility. You'll coordinate meetings to reinforce this stuff.
• The store needs to be properly staffed and opened/closed correctly every single day. You’ll personally open at least twice a week and close at least twice a week.
• You’ll dig into operating statements weekly to spot trends in sales and profit, find ways to control expenses, and identify potential shrink or errors.
• Managing inventory is key. You'll place orders to hit in stock targets, review plans weekly, and follow up on cycle counts.
• Overseeing how merchandise gets staged, stocked, and stored according to company processes falls on you.
• Making sure all products are presented right; with proper fixtures, pricing, and signage; is part of the daily grind.
• Maintaining accurate inventory means controlling damages and markdowns while ensuring scanning and paperwork are spot on.
• Safeguarding the store's finances is non negotiable. You'll enforce strict cashier accountability, key control, security practices, and cash procedures.
• Leading by example in customer service is expected. And you’ll maintain a clean, organized store that's safe for both employees and shoppers.
• You need to ensure your team has all the tools they need to do their jobs effectively.
• Following every policy in the Standard Operating Procedures manual and Employee Handbook is mandatory; you'll ensure your team does too.

The skills & experience we need

• A high school diploma or equivalent is strongly preferred.
• A year of management experience in retail? That's preferred as well.
• You've got to be able to read things like diagrams, safety rules, instruction manuals…the usual paperwork that keeps things running.
• A solid grasp of basic math; addition subtraction multiplication division percentages; is required for reports and financials. .
