We're looking for an inspiring Head Coach (Retail Store Manager) to take the lead at our VIC flagship at Chadstone, heading up a passionate crew that lives and breathes our values.

Nail the roster: Build smart schedules that match peak launch traffic while hitting your wage cost targets.

Own the product: Run team fit sessions and own sell-through from the first boxes off the truck to the last one sold.

Know your numbers: Read your P&L, manage wages, track daily KPIs, and bring sharp commercial thinking to every week.

Inspiring Retail Leadership: Proven experience leading, mentoring, and developing teams in high-energy retail environments - 3 to 5 years in similar apparel or flagship spaces desirable.
