Shift Leader

At Einstein Bros. Bagels, we believe in the bagel, and we’ve been baking bagels fresh daily since 1995. We believe that our bakeries do more than just make the best breakfast in the neighborhood. We guarantee two things: First, to spread a little more joy and happiness in the world. To laugh, smile, and enjoy each other’s company that much more. And to us, there’s no better way to do that than with the bagel. Second: we are committed to work-life balance for our team. Our stores close at 2pm!

About the role

Our Shift Leaders are like the cream cheese on the bagel. The bagel is delicious on its own, but the cream cheese adds a LOT of flavor and helps hold it all together! Shift Leaders collaborate directly with the General Manager to help motivate the team to deliver a great guest experience. We empower Shift Leaders to take charge and set the morale and tone of the team. They provide feedback and coach team members when needed. Shift Leaders open and close the store with little to no supervision. Our teams take pride in ensuring the quality of the food and beverages we serve and by keeping a safe and clean store environment. As a Shift Leader, you will have the opportunity to grow your career—many of our General Managers started as Shift Leaders and Team Members!
