As an Assistant Branch Manager (ABM), you will support your team and contribute individually to exceed customer expectations, nurturing relationships that drive long-term success.
In this role, you’ll report to, and collaborate with, your Branch Manager (BM) to oversee and support daily branch activities of multiple branch locations, ensuring operational excellence, and enhancing the customer and colleague experience. Acting as an individual contributor and a coach, you’ll inspire your team to achieve individual and collective sales goals by delivering solutions that align with customer needs and drive business results.

A successful ABM is a dynamic communicator who translates business priorities into actionable goals, and empowers colleagues to embrace and execute strategies with confidence. With a strong focus on financial acumen, you’ll guide sound decision-making by understanding the branch’s outcomes and leveraging key business drivers to achieve success.
As a visible and engaged brand ambassador, you will connect with the local community to cultivate new customer relationships and deepen existing ones.
