Description

Here at Iceland and The Food Warehouse, we pride ourselves on being an innovative, fast-paced, family-orientated Retailer. We are the fastest growing multi-channel Retailer in the UK and as one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025 , we believe that there is no better place to excel in your career as an Area Manager.

Our Area Managers have the accountability to set the standards and expectations that will enable their Store Managers to drive our business forward.

We are looking to recruit an Area Manager with a proven track record of inspiring teams to drive sales by delivering simple retail priorities and delighting our customers.

Our Area Managers are operationally hands‑on and commercially focused, inspirational leaders, with the ability to 'think outside the box’ in terms of how you deliver in your role.

In return, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including private health care, excellent wellbeing support through our partnership with Grocery Aid, 15% staff discount in stores, discounts across Retail and sales incentives throughout the year.
