Job description

The Metcash story began from the humble origins of our first family-owned corner store in 1927. And for almost 100 years since then, we've been backing independents and strengthening the communities we operate in.

Today, Metcash (ASX: MTS) is Australia and New Zealand's leading independent retail partner and wholesaler in the food, liquor, hardware, and tools industries, with sales of $19.5 billion in FY25. We provide our network with marketing, purchasing, warehousing, distribution and systems support

Mitre 10 Torrensville Trade Centre is a proudly locally embedded business with strong community connections and a trade-focused operation supporting local builders, contractors and volume customers.

We're seeking a practical, floor-based Store Manager who enjoys being involved in the day-to-day running of the business, understands trade customers and products, and can motivate a team to deliver consistently for high-volume trade accounts.
