Description

Overview

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Store Manager to oversee the daily operations of our self-storage facility in Fremont, CA. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring customer satisfaction (online, over-the-phone, in-person), maximizing rental occupancy, and maintaining the facility's overall performance and cleanliness.
