Job description

• This is not just another Store Manager role...its one of the best in Cairns!
• Lead a great team. Grow an even better one. Fab package inc car and bonus
• Work one Sat a fortnight & have every alternate weekend off

Imagine loving where you work again...

• Imagine walking into a store where your team genuinely enjoys coming to work…
• Where you're trusted to lead…
• Where you're encouraged to have fun…
• Where your wins are celebrated...
• And where your employer invests as much in your career as you invest in your people.

That's exactly what this opportunity offers.

Here’s the exciting part...

• Take the reigns of a high growth store - with remarkable year-on-year growth and an equally exciting future ahead.
• Work for a retailer that invests in people, not just stores. You'll be trusted to make decisions, backed by experienced leaders and given every opportunity to build a long-term career.
• Forget being thrown in the deep end. You'll experience one of the best onboarding programs in retail, spending time across multiple stores before officially taking the keys to your own.
• Be in a role, which will also give you some work life balance. You'll only work one Saturday a fortnight, with every alternate weekend off.
• Love coming to work again. The culture is welcoming, down-to-earth, customer obsessed and built around trust, teamwork and celebrating success.
• Be rewarded for what you bring. An attractive base salary, super, bonus and fully maintained vehicle reflect the importance of this leadership role.

The opportunity

This isn't simply about running a successful store...it's about taking a store and its team from 'great to greater.'

You’ll:

• Have full accountability for sales, profitability, customer experience, operational excellence and, most importantly, your people.
• You’ll build an environment where your team feels supported, challenged and inspired to become the very best version of themselves.
• You'll recruit exceptional talent, develop future leaders, drive commercial performance, identify new opportunities for growth and ensure every customer leaves wanting to come back.

This is a role for someone who loves retail, thrives in a fast-paced environment and gets genuine satisfaction from seeing both people and performance flourish.

About you

You're already an accomplished Store Manager or Assistant Store Manager from a either a medium or large-format retail environment, and you've built your reputation by growing both the business and the people around you.

You’ll bring:

• Experience running a serious retail operation—with a sizeable team within a sizeable store as well as lots of customers and plenty of moving parts.
• A genuine feel for the numbers. You know what's driving performance, where the opportunities are hiding and when something needs attention before it becomes a problem.
• The ability to turn strong results into even stronger ones. This store is already performing exceptionally well, so your challenge is to keep building momentum rather than simply maintaining it.
• A knack for getting the best out of people. You know how to set high expectations, build capability and create a team that genuinely enjoys coming to work.
• Strong retail instincts. Stock availability, merchandising, inventory, wage control, shrinkage and customer service are simply how you operate.
• The confidence to make decisions and back yourself. You stay calm under pressure, lead change positively and know how to keep everyone moving in the same direction.
• A leadership style people naturally follow. You're visible, approachable, decisive and never afraid to roll up your sleeves alongside your team.
• Plenty of energy and ambition. You love retail, enjoy winning, celebrate success and are always looking for ways to improve both your people and your business.

If you're looking for more than just another Store Manager role— somewhere you can genuinely belong, make your mark and build a long-term career,we'd love to hear from you.
