About the Role
We are looking for a reliable Shift Lead to help run daily operations, keep our team on track, and make sure our key cutting is accurate and fast.
Just to be clear on what we do: We are a dedicated retail key shop and duplication service. We specialize in making precision copies from existing keys. We are not a mobile locksmith service. There are no emergency late-night lockouts or on-call road dispatches. This is a stable, structured shop environment.
Daily Responsibilities
- Keep the shop running smoothly during your shift and lead by example.
- Run our key cutting machines and software to duplicate house, business, and auto keys.
- Greet walk-in customers, handle transactions, and troubleshoot any customer issues.
- Monitor key blank inventory and make sure the machinery stays clean and calibrated.
- Handle opening or closing procedures, including register counting and securing the shop.
What We're Looking For
- At least 1 year of experience as a shift lead, keyholder, or supervisor in retail or customer service.
- Someone who is highly detail-oriented—accuracy is everything when it comes to cutting a working key.
- Good communication skills and a dependable, punctual work ethic.
- Comfortable working with modern tech and computerized systems.
- Note: You don't need prior key-cutting experience. We will fully train you on all of our specialized equipment.

- If selected for this role, what is your standard notice period or earliest available start date?
- Imagine a customer walks up and asks why they should buy your products instead of a cheaper alternative. How would you explain the value and close the sale in 2 sentences?
- We use a mix of mobile apps, desktop software (Excel, Zoom), and hands-on machinery/touchscreens daily. What is the most complex software or machine you’ve used in a past job, and how did your technical skill directly help your team work faster or make fewer mistakes?
