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 dedicated to treating people right, maintaining clean and consistent stores, and building service on listening to our customers.

We are proud to be recognized as a Glassdoor Best Place to Work 2026 and named one of Forbes' America's Best Large Employers for 2026. Our culture is built on a promote-from-within philosophy where every store leader starts in the bays and earns their keys, with many growing into multi-store leadership roles. We partner with major professional sports leagues and teams to fuel fans and athletes, and we close our doors on Sundays to allow our teams to recharge and spend time with family.

About the Role

As an Assistant Store Manager, you will lead and mentor a team while keeping our customers safe and building a career you love. 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, followed by time on the floor coaching your team and stepping in where needed. There is no desk required; you will be hands-on, talking with customers to explain options clearly and ensuring they get back on the road confidently.

This role is designed for those who thrive in a "Sports Energy" environment and value a "People First" approach. You will work alongside trusted experts to bust tires, manage inventory, and delight customers, all while learning through hands-on, on-the-job training. If you are a former athlete, military team member, or hands-on leader with a servant-leader mindset, you will find a home here.

Hiring Process

We invite you to apply if you want to grow, lead, and make a difference every day for customers in your community. Our application process is designed to find the right fit for our promote-from-within culture.
