Job description

About our Business

Since our humble thrift shop beginnings, we’ve come a long way in the second‑hand space, growing into a global reuse champion and driver of the Thrift Proud™ movement. As champions of reuse, we’re committed to keeping one‑of‑a‑kind finds out of landfill and helping people reuse, repurpose and upcycle – to experience the joy of thrift shopping for the good of hip pockets, and the planet. But how we do it, and the people that we do it with, matters a great deal.

About the Role

Reporting to the Managing Director, the District Manager is responsible for overseeing the operations across Adelaide, driving success and excellence across our four locations.

A typical day might include :

• Developing and supporting the implementation of strategies to ensure performance, sales and budgets
• Partnering with Store Managers to analyse the previous week’s results and adjust the sales floor and production room to maximise sales
• Meeting with the People Services team to map out a talent and succession plan for a new store
• Meeting with the Warehouse Operations Manager to discuss the product needs of your stores

About You

To ensure you can hit the ground running, you will have a mix of the following :

• Prior experience managing multi‑site teams in a fast‑paced environment – you might have worked in retail, hospitality, or other customer‑focused industries.
• Strong communication, coaching and leadership skills – you know how to empower and inspire your team to achieve their goals.
• Impact driven – you want to make an impact on your team and your community.
• Customer focused – we make service count, so you will need to be passionate about driving an exceptional experience at every interaction with our valued customers and donors.
• Eager to learn – you are always looking to find a better way, adapt and improve.
• Do the right thing – you are passionate about standing up for what’s right and doing what you say you will.
• Celebrate uniqueness – we are made up of people from many different backgrounds, so you recognise that we all have something special to contribute.
• Passion for secondhand shopping – you are passionate about making secondhand, second nature.

We are a team of thrifters, always searching for the unique and one‑of‑a‑kind finds. With training, career development, and bonus opportunities, and discounts across a range of retailers, travel and attractions our team is a great one to be a part of. You’ll positively impact team members, customers, donors, your community, and the environment.

If you are a senior store or multi‑site manager that feels passionate about making secondhand, second nature, we want to meet you! Apply now!
