Job description

Store Manager – Barwon Heads IGA
Lead a store where the commute ends at the beach.
Barwon Heads IGA is a locally owned, family-run supermarket at the heart of one of Victoria's best coastal towns. We were named IGA Store of the Year (Medium Store category) in 2025, and we're looking for a hands-on Store Manager to keep us at that level and push us further.
This isn't a head-office job where you're a number. You'll have real say in how the store runs, and you'll see your results every day, then finish your shift a few minutes from the river and the surf.

What you’ll do

• Lead and develop a team of 60+ staff
• Own rostering, wages and store targets
• Keep shelves full, the floor tidy and customers coming back
• Work directly with the owner on promotions, ranging and store growth

What you’ll bring

• Supermarket or retail management experience
• A people-first leadership style: you coach, you don't just direct
• Commercial sense: you understand margin, wastage and wage %
• Energy, reliability and pride in a well-run shop

What we offer

• Competitive salary
• Vehicle / staff discount / Phone
• A stable, supportive local business with room to grow

Supermarkets, Grocery & Petrol Retailing

We understand that today we are a culturally diverse nation of more that 23 million people with different likes and dislikes.

That’s why, through our network of independently owned stores (all 1,400 of them) we tailor our ranges and brands to give our local customers more of what they like it. This includes many of your favourite brands, the ones you may no longer find on shelves in other supermarkets.

We proudly support Aussie producers too by stocking ranges of locally made products.

We actively participate in the communities around our stores doing whatever we can to help local schools, surf clubs or hospitals whether it’s footie balls for the under 14’s or life-saving equipment.

Though IGA Community Chest we continually raise funds to support local communities, charities and other worthwhile causes, to date we’ve put well over $60 million back into communities across the country.

But at the beginning of each day, we open our doors for one reason and one reason only, to deliver a shopping experience how the locals like it.
