Your Impact

You're the right hand to the GM. The co-pilot, the partner-in-crime, the person who helps keep every part of the operation humming (FOH, Kitchen, Delivery, and Bar). You'll help build a culture that's fun, supportive, and aligned with our Vision, Values, and Big Five Code of Conduct.

Translation: happy pizza consumers, vibing crew, and a business that's thriving

Your journey starts in Madison, where you'll dive into the hands-on training program (travel stipend eligible!). Spending about 10 weeks learning the ropes of day-to-day operations, then another 13 weeks leveling up your leadership and management skills. After that, you head to Verona to make your mark.

During your training program, you'll get to...

• Create and lead an improvement project
• Train and coach staff and shift leaders
• Complete staff reviews
• Keep the restaurant well-stocked and the budget-approved
• Build great relationships with vendors
• Practice Open Book Finance (yep, we actually share the numbers!)
• Create effective and fair staff schedules
• Dream up and test new systems that make the store run even better

What You Bring to the Manager Team

We're looking for a problem-solver and big-picture thinker with a scrappy, can-do attitude. Ian's isn't your typical cookie-cutter spot... we do things our own way.

If you are eager to learn our culture, contribute your own experience, and bring fresh ideas to the table, we want to hear from you!

Scheduling

Managers are salaried for 40-45 hours per week, but, let's be real, sometimes the restaurant demands a little extra time. Anything over 45 hours? You get PAID for that time at your hourly rate.

Your time will be split between 20-30 hours on the floor and 15-20 hours handling the behind-the-scenes magic like projects, admin tasks, and meetings.

Your schedule will drop 2-4 weeks at a time so you can plan your life and your pizza intake accordingly

The action happens on evenings and weekends! We'll need you in the mix, working in collaboration with the management team to ensure a strong leadership presence at our busiest times. You'll tag-team with the rest of the team to handle emergencies and jump in when coverage is needed.

Roll in dough (pun absolutely intended)! Be part of a crew where you can be yourself, develop your leadership skills, and fill up on pizza.
