Convenience Store General Manager

As a global energy company operating in a challenging world, we set high standards of performance and ethical behaviours. We are judged by how we act – our reputation is upheld by how we live up to our core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people. Our eight Business Principles are based on these core values and indicate how we promote trust, openness, teamwork and professionalism, and pride in what we do.

General Managers are experts in creating the Guest experience by providing prompt and outstanding Guest service, quality products, and maintaining a clean and comfortable restaurant environment. The General Manager (GM) has overall responsibility for managing daily operations of a single store (5-15 employees) ensuring delivery on the Guest Experience, and ensuring desired store outcomes (i.e., increased sales, profitability, and employee retention). The GM mobilizes the store’s management team to oversee the financial controls, operations, people development, Guest service, and Company/Corporate compliance within the store across all shifts. Many of our Company’s General Managers have advanced their careers in our organization, and have gone on to become District Managers, Managing Directors, and even Owners. We offer unlimited potential for those that have the capabilities and motivation to be successful in our business. The possibilities are endless here!
