Taking its name from the African word "jama," meaning to celebrate, Jamba Juice is very much an American entrepreneurial success.  Founded in 1990 as The Juice Club, Jamba now operates nearly 600 stores nationwide (combined company-owned and franchised).  Our locations are unique and colorful quick serve restaurants with annual volume ranging from $.4m to $1.5m and are often found in freestanding, outdoor malls to accommodate our active customers.

 

Jamba Juice is looking for individuals to be either General Managers (GMs) or Assistant General Managers (AGMs).  The position you will be most qualified for will depend on your individual experience.  GMs tend to have past experience running restaurants or other QSR concepts while AGMs have past food service leadership experience but not as the overall manager of a restaurant.  Management experience in other, non-food concepts like clothing or hardlines retail can be relevant.  Below you will find the position overview, training and primary responsibilities for Managers in our stores.  Most apply to both positions but overall responsibility for the business, team and environment in a store will always fall to the GM.
