Job description

Overview

Are you a Deputy Manager, Assistant Manager, Department Manager or Supervisor looking to take your retail career to the next level? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment and have a passion for leading and mentoring your team? And do you have ambitions of being developed into a Store Manager of the future? B&M Retail are looking for a Deputy Store Manager to join our store team in Channons Hill Retail Park, Bristol. Reporting to the Store Manager, you'll assist in overseeing all aspects of your store's operations — leading your colleagues from the front and role modelling best practices to your team. You'll support in delivering excellent store standards every day and will use your commercial knowledge to maximise sales potential in store. In this role, it's a partnership — you work closely with your Store Manager, and play a key role in helping to run & lead a successful store. When your Store Manager isn't around, it's down to you! You’ll take charge of your store and drive your team to deliver a fantastic result, day in & day out. Our managers at B&M aren’t office managers. As a Deputy Store Manager, you're out there on the floor with your team, coaching and inspiring them to reach their full potential. You'll work shoulder to shoulder with your team, setting the pace & leading by example.

Responsibilities

• Be a Supportive Leader: Assist your Store Manager in running your store with passion, leading by example and driving a strong sense of teamwork
• Embrace Pace: Experience working in a fast-paced environment and handling large volumes of stock/product
• Set the Standard: Maintain excellent store standards and consistently deliver KPIs, day in & day out
• Coach a Winning Team: Develop your team by identifying and nurturing talent and training them to achieve success
• Love Retail: Demonstrate a true passion for retail and for your role, bringing your commercial knowledge to your team & store
• Drive Compliance: Support in driving compliance in your store, through stocktakes, Health & Safety and people processes

Progression

The prospects are endless at B&M, and the sky's the limit for you as a Deputy Store Manager. We remain committed to developing our team and providing opportunities to everyone at all levels. In fact, over 80% of our retail managers are home grown, so your career growth comes as standard. Our focus on internal succession is something we’re very proud of. Whether it's progression upwards or sideways, if you're looking to progress, B&M is the place for you!

What You'll Receive

• Management experience within a fast-paced and high turnover retail environment
• Experience managing medium to large sized teams
• A history of working towards and successfully delivering KPIs
• Flexibility to work a range of hours, including weekends & bank holidays
• Experience within an FMCG/big box setting is ideal, but not essential

Why B&M

B&M aren't just any retailer. We're one of the fastest growing in the UK, with over 750 stores and an exciting plan for more openings this year. Joining B&M means you can be part of an amazing journey. Our growth is huge and showing no signs of slowing down — and with that, your prospects are endless.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary & Bonus Package: Competitive salary with a rewarding annual bonus potential
• Clear Career Path: Job stability and a clear path for career progression
• Training and Development: Extensive on-the-job training and internal growth opportunities
• Store Discount: 10% store discount across all B&M Retail & Heron Foods stores, with regular double discount events
