assistant manager

Store's backup boss

An assistant manager holds a position directly below the manager, handling daily operations and stepping in when the manager is absent.

The title appears across industries—retail, restaurants, offices, sports teams: The assistant manager approved my shift swap.

In business settings, assistant managers often supervise staff, handle customer complaints, and train new employees while awaiting promotion to full manager.
