Want to step into a leadership role where your decisions matter every shift? Looking for a fast-paced, team-driven environment where you can grow and actually enjoy coming to work?

At Dairy Queen, we’re all about creating great experiences—for our fans and our team. As a Shift Manager, you’ll be the leader on duty, setting the tone, supporting your team, and making sure every guest leaves with a smile.

  • Grow into Assistant Manager and beyond

What You’ll Do

  • Lead daily shift operations and keep the team focused and energized
  • Ensure fast, friendly service and top-quality products every time
  • Train and coach team members to perform at their best
  • Handle customer concerns with professionalism and care
  • Support inventory, food safety, and cleanliness standards

What We’re Looking For

  • 1–3 years of restaurant or leadership experience (QSR a plus)
  • Strong communication and team leadership skills
  • Someone who leads by example and stays calm under pressure
  • Organized, reliable, and ready to take ownership
  • ServSafe® certification preferred (or willingness to obtain)

What You’ll Get

  • Competitive pay + potential for advancement
  • Flexible scheduling that fits your life
  • Employee discounts on food and treats
  • Paid, hands-on training
  • A supportive team that wants you to succeed

Ready to Lead the Shift?

If you’re motivated, dependable, and ready to grow your career in a fun and fast-paced environment, we want to meet you.

Apply today and start building your future with Dairy Queen.
