Greens Retail

Greens Retail are the leading convenience store chain in Scotland, having been crowned Independent Retail Chain of the Year at the Grocer Gold Awards 2018 and finalists again in 2019 as well as numerous other awards such as Scottish Local Retailer of the Year.

At Greens Retail, our motto is 'redefining convenience retailing' and we differentiate from others by having a mission to create an awesome customer experience, exemplify highest store standards and maintain unrivalled community involvement. Whilst we benefit from a strong Head Office support team based in Kirkcaldy, Fife, we take great pride in allowing our teams the autonomy to build their stores as if it was their own business. Benefiting from in-store bakeries, butcheries and many other in-store concessions, we are continually looking to expand our horizons.

Greens Retail are part of Glenshire Group, a Scottish family-owned conglomerate based in Fife. The Group operates in multiple sectors including Retail (Greens Retail), Hospitality, Property, Pizza Hut Delivery and Frozen Drinks (Skwishee).

Area Manager

As an Area Manager at Greens Retail, you will be ultimately responsible for the overall management and running of our convenience stores in our Northern Scottish estate. We're looking for exceptional individuals who don't shy away from a challenge and will constantly go above and beyond to deliver the best convenience store chain in the country.

This position is field-based and you will be required to manage your own workload and prioritise tasks in order to allow you to meet KPIs and objectives. Predominantly you will spend most of your time in stores, although there will also be a requirement to spend some time at our Head Office in Kirkcaldy.

You will be required to provide a high level of support for all of the stores in your area, ensuring that company policy and procedures are followed and adhered to, as well as providing a source of guidance and knowledge in the numerous areas that are managed within the convenience sector. Most significantly, you will be responsible for driving team morale, innovation and creativity within stores.

You will be expected to fully drive the company values of:

• Exceptional Customer Service
• Incredibly High Store Standards
• Focussing on our Local Ethos
• Delivering Consumer Needs; Range, Availability, Value

Furthermore, you will be expected to use all tools at your disposal to drive store sales and profitability. As a disruptive business, all colleagues possess the ability to drive real innovation not just within our stores, but the industry as a whole.

Some specific ongoing responsibilities will include:

• Lead and develop a strong management team (and in turn store teams) - all aimed at providing a great customer experience
• Create an exceptional working environment
• Ensure Business KPIs are being met
• Liaise with store managers to create strong links with the local community and host local events
• Ensure efficient day-to-day operation of stores with a focus on stores consistently delivering the highest store standards
• Colleague recruitment, mentoring, training and identifying progression opportunities
• Ensure a clean, swift and efficient operation - complying with health & safety as well as other processes and procedures

The Area Manager will be required to work a minimum of 40 hours per week across 5 days inclusive of evenings and weekends depending on the needs of the business. We operate a flexi-working approach and hence, can be flexible with working times and hours providing objectives are being met.

Benefits?

• Competitive Weekly Salary
• Colleague discount of 10% within retail stores & Subway and 50% within Glenshire Group Pizza Hut delivery sites
• Refer a friend bonus scheme
• Additional leave on length of service
• Increasing annual holiday pay with length of service (from 5.6 weeks up to 7 weeks)
• Pension with 3% employer contributions
• Be part of a young, entrepreneurial and fun team
• Prosper & flourish with the business - if you succeed, we succeed
• Ample opportunity to learn and grow, with career progression opportunities within retail or wider group businesses

What do I need?

• Area / Multi-Store Management Experience = essential
• Driving Licence = essential
• Food Retail Experience = preferred

Beyond this, it is essential you have a willingness to deliver, are passionate about retail and have a strong attention to detail.
