About the Role

There's a role for everyone in retail - including leadership. As a Trading Manager, you'll motivate your Section Managers to deliver the best standards across your department, maximising availability and driving sales. You'll have an eye for detail, maintaining shop floor standards and coaching your team to do the same. You'll be responsible for ensuring that merchandising and operational standards are met, and that back of house areas run safely and smoothly. If you're looking for a chance to develop further in retail, this could be the role for you!

As part of the leadership team, you'll work a three-week rolling rota which will include weekends, evenings, and sometimes late nights. At times, you may be solely responsible for the store, and therefore you'll need to be confident in overseeing operations as a whole.

About You

You should be able to work in a fast-paced environment and be adaptable to change. You'll be naturally friendly and eager to work with your team to deliver great results. An enthusiastic approach, strong coaching, mentoring, and motivating skills are essential. You will be a role model to colleagues, ensuring customers have a great shopping experience.
