Workforce Solutions partners directly with teams looking to hire top talent. We are currently working with a locally owned, community‑oriented retailer seeking an Assistant Store Manager for their Wisconsin Dells, WI, location. This is an on‑site leadership role supporting store operations and ensuring a positive customer experience.

The Assistant Store Manager supports the Store Manager in leading the overall operations, performance, and customer service of the store. This position helps oversee daily operations, supervises staff, maintains merchandising standards, and ensures store quality, safety, and profitability. In the Store Manager's absence, this role is responsible for coordinating and directing all store activities. An ideal candidate thrives in a fast‑paced retail environment, demonstrates strong leadership skills, and brings a customer‑focused mindset to every shift.

• Supporting the Store Manager in planning, organizing, and directing store operations.

• Leadership experience training, coaching, and overseeing staff preferred.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills.
• Ability to maintain composure and efficiency during busy periods and seasonal volume spikes.
• Ability to meet physical job requirements and work in a hands‑on retail environment.

This position pays a competitive base salary with a full benefits package you don't typically find working in retail that includes:

• PTO and holiday pay
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401k with employer contribution
• Disability insurance
• A supportive, family‑owned environment where employees are valued

• Full‑time / 5‑day workweek
• Four weekday shifts from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM
• One weekend day
• Only one evening per week, with the latest shift ending at 9 PM
• Consistent daytime schedule, aside from the single evening closing shift

This is a key leadership role supporting store‑wide operations. The company is looking for a hands‑on leader who brings professionalism, attention to detail, and a strong customer‑service mindset to a highly visible, customer‑facing position within a locally owned business.

The first step is applying with your resume. Qualified candidates will then complete a phone screen, followed by an interview with the client.
