The Assistant Bakery Operations Manager (ABOM) is a leadership development role designed to prepare individuals for future Bakery Operations Managers. ABOMs operate at near-BOM level, managing bakery operations with urgency, accuracy, and accountability while cultivating leadership skills for independent bakery management.
They combine hands-on operational tasks with talent development, administrative responsibilities, and team leadership, acting as an extension of the BOM and stepping into full bakery ownership when needed.
Key responsibilities include executing core bakery operations, maintaining product quality and safety standards, supporting inventory and staffing, and managing schedules. They also support recruiting, onboarding, coaching team members, and fostering a growth-oriented culture. Additionally, ABOMs independently manage bakery operations during BOM absence, address operational gaps, and ensure continuity during staffing transitions.
Success involves independently handling BOM-level tasks, maintaining high standards, building a culture of accountability, and demonstrating readiness for advancement.
Qualifications include at least one year of leadership experience in fast-paced environments, operational discipline, coaching abilities, and strong communication skills.
Benefits feature competitive pay, insurance options, paid time off, career growth opportunities, and a fun team culture.
