Job description

Ready to take the next step in your retail career? We're on the hunt for a dynamic, people-first Area Manager in the North Brisbane/Sunshine Coast region, to lead a portfolio of stores and turn great teams into exceptional ones. If you love the buzz of retail, thrive on hitting (and smashing) targets, and get a kick out of developing people, this is your stage.

What you'll be doing

• Delivering standout customer experiences — Set the tone for a welcoming, engaging environment and act fast on customer feedback.
• Driving the numbers — Own sales growth and profitability across your stores, spot opportunities for promotions and upsell, and keep stock tight and available.
• Raising the bar operationally — Champion best practice, flawless store presentation, and sharp visual merchandising, backed by regular walkthroughs, stocktakes and audits.
• Growing great people — Recruit, coach and mentor Store Managers and their teams, building a leadership pipeline that makes succession planning a breeze.
• Bringing the brand to life — Keep visual merchandising sharp and on-trend across every store, with seasonal and promotional changes landing on time, every time.
• Leading on safety — Build a genuine safety-first culture, with hands-on WHS audits, risk assessments and support for your teams when it matters most.
• Connecting the dots — Be the vital link between State Management and store teams, cascading priorities clearly and championing two-way feedback.

What success looks like

Like-for-like sales growth, tight cost control, glowing mystery shopper scores, engaged teams who stick around, and stores that are the picture of brand compliance (think Dayforce Learning, store walkthroughs/ WHS audits, and stock management all ticking along nicely).

What you bring

• Proven Area Manager experience (or you're a senior Multi-Site Manager ready to leap)
• Commercial smarts and a genuine track record of smashing sales and KPI targets
• A natural leader who builds and develops high-performing teams
• A sharp eye for visual merchandising and retail operations
• Comfort turning data into decisions
• Confident, adaptable communication across all levels
• Willingness to get out on the road — frequent travel between stores is part of the fun

Why You’ll Love It Here

• A 10k car allowance plus a petrol card!
• Weekly commission incentives paid on achieving results
• Score 50% off Rockwear products and enjoy great discounts across our in-house brands
• Support your wellbeing with our free, confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP) — because your mental, physical, and financial health matter

If you're a hands-on leader who loves working with people, chasing results and thriving in a busy retail environment, we'd love to hear from you. Come shape what's next, bring out the best in your team, and make an impact across multiple locations.
