An assistant manager is an employee of an organization that assists managers on an operational level. They support the manager in the day-to-day running of a specific department, office or store. Specific responsibilities vary. They may also be responsible for ensuring that health and safety policies are adhered to.
Examples of this position can be found in retail and other service businesses where the need to have more than one member of daily operations management is important.
Famous quotes containing the word manager:
“Nothing could his enemies do but it rebounded to his infinite advantage,—that is, to the advantage of his cause.... No theatrical manager could have arranged things so wisely to give effect to his behavior and words. And who, think you, was the manager? Who placed the slave-woman and her child, whom he stooped to kiss for a symbol, between his prison and the gallows?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
