Assistant Bakery Operations Manager

The Assistant Bakery Operations Manager (ABOM) is a pivotal leadership role intended to nurture and cultivate the next generation of Bakery Operations Managers. ABOMs are expected to operate at nearly the same level as Bakery Operations Managers, executing bakery operations with a focus on urgency, accuracy, and accountability while honing their leadership skills necessary for independent bakery management.

This position combines hands-on operational excellence with talent development, administrative responsibilities, and team leadership. ABOMs serve as a vital extension of the BOM and must be prepared to step into full bakery leadership when required.
