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, fostering a true career path for those who want to grow and lead.

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 while supporting the communities we serve.

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 keep the workflow steady, ensuring 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.

This role is for those who thrive in a "sports energy" environment and value work-life balance. We are a people-first team who cares for each other, serves customers the right way, and wins together. You will talk with customers to explain options clearly, helping them get back on the road confidently. No desk is required; your office is the shop floor where you bust tires, manage inventory, and delight customers alongside your technicians.

Hiring Process

We are a promote-from-within culture that values hands-on experience. While specific interview steps are not detailed in this posting, our commitment to development means you will learn by doing with hands-on, on-the-job training and development opportunities. We look for former athletes, military team members, or hands-on leaders who possess a team mindset and servant leader energy.
