About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

As a Retail Market Operations Trainee in the C2C Program you will progress through four phases.
The program kicks off with a live event where you and 30 like-minded college grads from across the country will travel to Charlotte, NC to participate in a leadership experience of a lifetime.
During Phase One, you will spend time getting acquainted with the support functions in your Business Unit like Marketing, HR, HSE, Fuel, Facilities, Finance and more.
Your second phase is dedicated to answering that very question: What’s it like to work for a $50B convenience powerhouse?
You will gain a better understanding of the people and processes you will support in your role as Market Manager. Who better to teach you the ropes than one of our high-performing Market Managers?
In Phase Three, you will shadow a high-performing Market Manager but expect more responsibility as you grow your skills.
Finally, it’s time for your first assignment as a certified Market Manager. Ordinarily we start you with a small territory and graduate you to a larger territory as you gain skills and confidence.
