Assistant Manager

About the Team

Founded in 1960 by Bruce T. Halle in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Discount Tire has grown from a single store with six tires to the nation's largest independent tire and wheel retailer. Today, we operate over 1,200 stores across 40 states with more than 31,000 employees. We are a people-first, safety-first company built on a promise to treat people right. Our culture is defined by a promote-from-within philosophy where every store leader starts in the bays and earns their keys, often growing into multi-store leadership roles.

We are proud to be recognized as a Glassdoor Best Places to Work 2026 and named one of Forbes' America's Best Large Employers for 2026. Our stores are clean and consistent, our training is hands-on, and our service is built on listening to customers and doing the job the right way. We partner with major professional sports leagues and teams, fueling fans and athletes through local and national pro sports partnerships.

About the Role

As an Assistant Store Manager, you will lead and mentor a team while keeping our customers safe. You set the pace for the store and the tone for the team. Your day begins with a huddle to assign bays and ensure a steady workflow so customers receive safe and timely service. You will be on the floor with your team, coaching and stepping in where needed, rather than staying behind a desk.

You will talk with customers to explain options clearly, helping them get back on the road confidently. This role is for those who want to build a career and a life they love in a culture that values work-life balance, including Sundays off for faith, family, and friends. You will work alongside teammates who care for each other, serving customers the right way and winning together.

Hiring Process

We are a promote-from-within organization. While specific interview steps are not detailed in this posting, our culture emphasizes hands-on, on-the-job training and development. We look for individuals with a team mindset, servant leader energy, and the stamina to work alongside the team. If you are a former athlete, military team member, or hands-on leader who loves working with people, you will feel at home here.
