About the Role:

- Identify operational inefficiencies and help implement improvements
- Help onboard and train new staff, including instilling Ben & Jerry's brand values
- Ensure each shop delivers consistent, euphoric guest experiences
- Monitor store performance and provide feedback to GMs and upper leadership
- Represent the brand at community events or in-store promotions as needed
What We're Looking For:
- 2+ years of experience in food service or retail management (multi-unit experience a plus!)

- Excellent people skills and team leadership experience
- Strong problem-solving and time management abilities
- Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license
- Willingness to work evenings, weekends, and peak seasonal hours
Why Ben & Jerry's?
We're more than just ice cream we're about joy, justice, and building a better community. As a Traveling Area Manager, you'll play a huge part in creating that magic across every shop you touch.
