This is a fast-paced, hands-on leadership role where no two days are the same. You'll support the Store Manager in running day-to-day operations, lead and develop your team, and step up to take full responsibility when required.

Important: This is not a training or step-up role. You must already be working as an Assistant Store Manager (or equivalent) in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

The Role

Every day will bring something different. One day you may be managing deliveries, placing orders, or scheduling rotas to ensure operational efficiency. The next, you could be leading team briefings, coaching staff, resolving customer queries, or conducting till spot checks.

All the while, you\'ll stay focused on the bigger goals: maximising sales, minimising costs, delivering outstanding customer service, and driving operational performance.

Responsibilities

• Leading, motivating, and developing a diverse and talented team
• Driving sales and maximising profitability
• Supporting recruitment, training, and performance management
• Handling customer queries and maintaining high service standards
• Managing stock levels, deliveries, and product availability
• Organising staff rotas and holiday planning
• Ensuring operational efficiency and cost control
• Stepping into the Store Manager role when required

About You

• We\'re looking for a strong people-manager who thrives under pressure and can get the best out of their team in a demanding environment.
• Currently working at Assistant Store Manager (or equivalent) level
• Experienced in leading teams in a fast-paced, customer or stakeholder-driven environment
• Strong in time management, organisation, and operational efficiency
• Target-driven and commercially focused
• Passionate about delivering excellent customer service

Assistant Store Manager Ideal Background

We are particularly interested in candidates who have gained management experience in fast-moving environments such as:

• Food Retail
• Hospitality
• Distribution / Logistics
• The Armed Forces

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Assistant Store Manager to make a real impact in a thriving retail environment. You\'ll be part of a talented leadership team, with responsibility for driving results and supporting the ongoing success of a multi-million-pound store.
