Lead Manager Responsibilities

As a Lead Manager you will have your own management team to guide and will often be the most senior colleague in the store, responsible for ensuring the best possible service for our colleagues and customers.

It’s a chance to put your management skills, experience, and instincts to the test; chasing opportunities, finding better ways of working and getting things just right for our customers.

You will be a role model, helping colleagues to know and love our products and services, involving everyone in community projects and proving just how much we can achieve together. You’ll get to grow your own team by spotting talent and giving them the feedback and support they need to be their best.

We’ll look to you to maximise sales, impact and presentation for your department, while making sure everything is safe and compliant, and everyone’s in the right place at the right time.

This role is what management should be: out of the office and leading from the front – on the store floor with your colleagues and customers.

Key Capabilities

• Talking to colleagues, to share and encourage new ideas and best practice.
• Being warm and welcoming, taking time to recognise and listen to others.
• Building a strong team spirit and a network of relationships that stretches beyond the store.
• Looking ahead and seizing opportunities.
• Acting quickly to do what’s right for colleagues and customers.
• Thriving on change and leading people through it together.
• Knowing how to be at your best – and exceeding expectations.
