Job Information
The Honey Baked Ham Company, LLC General Manager in Vestavia Hills, Alabama
Bring home the bacon with The World's Best Ham™
Think you could make a career out of ham? Our founder, Harry Hoenselaar, did. In fact, he made a whole company out of it -- a company that now stretches from coast to coast. Today, The Honey Baked Ham Company is a multi-million dollar company that includes our stores, a business-to-business channel, and a booming ecommerce line of business. We're growing, and are looking for smart business minds to ensure our continued success.
As a Fast Track GM at our company owned location, you'll train for approximately 6 to 9 months with an experienced HoneyBaked General Manager and then take over your own store (and become bonus eligible!) During training, you'll learn how to lead store operations and be responsible for achieving overall performance goals including sales, customer service, product quality, and staff development.
Our Ideal Candidate:
Is a ready-to-advance Assistant Manager (or someone with GM experience!) from a retail or restaurant environment who is passionate about personal, hands-on service for their customers and can show how they've grown in previous roles. Is an absolute pro who knows what affects the P&L, can execute a business plan and would never compromise on the quality of the products they serve/sell.
Has a strong desire to increase sales and build relationships in the community, and is a great coach who can identify and develop awesome talent (experience hiring seasonal workers a plus!)
What Makes US Different?
We're a 65+ year old brand with uncompromised quality...but we're #notstuffy. We believe in balance. We're closed on Sundays, and other than four or five weeks a year, managers typically work about 50 hours per week. Our managers have full accountability of their store operations.
Our Values -- yeah, every company says that. We really mean it.
Love What We Do
Serve Others
Aim High
Do The Right Thing
Keep It Fun
What Can We Offer You?
Competitive pay and benefits, including a 401(k) program with a great match. Better balance in your life -- our operating hours mean minimal early mornings and late nights.
An environment where you'll see the impact you make and a leadership development program to grow the best of the best. We're proud of the many people who've moved from store associate to senior leadership...and even to franchise ownership.
What else to know?
Our store leaders must have a valid driver's license and reliable transportation. The role does require bending, stooping, standing for long periods, twisting and lifting products and supplies - some of which can weigh up to 65 lbs. - and working with a hot torch.
