This is not a standard retail Assistant Manager role. This opportunity suits someone who genuinely loves the outdoors and brings structure, calm leadership, and operational strength to a fast-moving retail environment.

The business is looking for an Assistant Manager who is passionate about bushwalking, hiking, climbing, canyoning, or adventure travel, and who enjoys leading people just as much as managing stock. That passion matters. It shows up in how teams are coached, how customers are served, and how the store runs day to day.

Oversee stock receivals, transfers, returns, and online order fulfilment

Maintain a clean, safe, and highly organised stockroom

Monitor inventory systems and resolve discrepancies with confidence

Support store leadership during peak trade and Store Manager absence

Coach and train team members on stock processes and best practice

Contribute to smooth store operations and a strong customer experience

This is a hands-on leadership role, ideal for someone who enjoys being across the detail while still inspiring the team on the floor.

Ideal Candidate

Genuine enthusiasm for outdoor activities such as hiking, bushwalking, climbing, trail running, or adventure travel

Proven experience in retail stock control, inventory, or operations

Confident using inventory systems and POS platforms

Natural people leader : calm, approachable, and supportive

Strong organisational skills with a problem-solving mindset

Customer-focused, values-driven, and environmentally conscious

Reliable, professional, and comfortable with physical retail tasks

Experience in outdoor, lifestyle, or technical retail will be highly regarded.
