The leading supermarket chain on the island of Bermuda is currently in search of experienced Assistant Store Managers to join its team. Bermuda is an upscale, English-speaking island off the coast of the Carolinas, and our client operates nine (9) full-service supermarkets on the island, as well as club store, dollar store, and department store formats. Day-to-day operations of the supermarket chain are run primarily by Americans, so store conditions and expectations are very similar to those within the United States.
To be considered for this unique opportunity, you must have at least three (3) years as an Assistant Store Manager or Co-Manager within a supermarket / grocery store environment.
Our client company will offer a base salary of $70,000, overtime, excellent quarterly bonus opportunity (tied directly to net profit) and a significant benefits package, including paid vacation, retirement plan, and pension. Average income for an Assistant Store Manager falls between $80,000 and $95,000, depending on overtime and store profitability, and you keep approximately 85% of your paycheck in Bermuda after deductions for local taxes, healthcare and pension. Also, while living and working abroad, US Citizens are able to exempt their first $126,500 in annual income from US income tax under the 2024 IRS guidelines for Foreign Earned Income Exclusion - you only pay US taxes on annual amounts above this limit. While the cost of living in Bermuda is higher than most locations in the United States, the directors and managers that we have placed over the past several years report that the lack of taxation more than makes up for the increase.
Please note that there are many factors to consider when relocating to Bermuda. Immigration policies for work permits at this level will allow a spouse to accompany you, but no other dependents – this is typically an opportunity for a single person or empty nesters. Our client company does offer a relocation program that will cover physical goods and temporary housing, but does NOT involve sale of an existing home. Also, while the interview process will progress rapidly, the immigration process often takes an additional 6-8 weeks and involves extensive criminal background checks. You must be willing to commit to a three-year contract, as well.
Once again, to be considered for this position, you must have at least 3 years of experience as an assistant manager within a supermarket environment!
If you are interested in this opportunity and in a position to move outside the country, please apply immediately and be sure to include your resume. If your background is a match for our client's requirements, we'll reach out for you right away.
