Support: Provide the final tier of mentorship for AMs and OMs, offering "Big Picture" career coaching and supporting the structured coaching paths designed by the OM.

Lead: Ensure the facility maintains a permanent "Audit-Ready" status. Own the 5S standards and facility maintenance to protect the company brand and physical assets.

Support: Back the AM’s immediate safety corrections on the floor, providing the resources (signage, floor tape, safety gear) required to maintain a world-class environment.
