shift manager

Crew's hourly leader

A shift manager is a supervisor responsible for overseeing operations during a specific work shift, typically in retail, food service, or manufacturing.

They handle staffing, customer issues, and daily tasks when higher management isn't present: The shift manager approved my time-off request.

The role sits between hourly workers and general managers in the chain of command.
