At this time, only candidates with high volume (30 Million +) and min 5-10 yrs senior retail management experience will be considered. The GMIT can be based in any of the cities where the position has been posted but willingness to relocate for final GM placement is an important factor to the success of our GMIT program.

• Managers in Training will attend all Home Office Retail Leadership Meetings (4 positions, biannually, for a total of 8 per year)

• The partnering Store Managers will be accountable for Trainee’s performance with assistance and feedback from Home Office Retail VPs and District Managers.
• Performance criteria and behavioral competencies will be set up front.
• Once initial training is completed, the graduate will be eligible for any open General Manager position. Should there not be a suitable match, the graduate will work with their District Manager to assist both within and outside the district where needed to gather Micro Center retail experience.

Job Requirements:

• Background must include heavy emphasis on and experience in sales management, merchandising, human resources, operations and freight flow, customer service function and all other aspects of retailing.
