At Asda, we want you to Find Your Everything and as our Lead Night Manager in our larger format stores, you will manage and lead the night team to keep everything running whilst the rest of the world sleeps, ensuring we are delivering the best availability and highest shop floor standards across all departments, whilst ensuring our store remains safe and legal for our customers and colleagues. Given the increased complexity of our larger stores, our Lead Night Manager will be accountable for all night planning and execution of activity.

As part of the leadership team, you'll work a rolling rota and 4 nights over 7 including weekend working. You will be solely responsible for the store through the night, and therefore you'll need to be confident in overseeing operation as a whole where store is open 24 hours.

What qualities you’ll need:

• Drive strategy into action: Planning and executing all trading activity on the shopfloor during night shift by ensuring delivery is date rotated and waste and returns are managed correctly limiting damage through replenishment.
• Lead with impact: Leading and coaching night colleagues and team leaders to deliver excellent shopfloor standards whilst creating a culture of serving our customers with personality, heart and pride, and get one more item in every basket.
• Execution-focused: Ensuring shopfloor is landed and presentable for customers before handing over to day team with modular activity well executed and POS up to date.
• Talent Development: Listen with empathy, driving resilience and encourage ownership, focus and passion for the business by bringing the “Asdaness” to work every day and supporting the development of the team and creating an environment where people feel valued, trusted, and motivated to step up.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience managing teams in a large-format retail grocery environment, ideally overnight.
• Ability to make decisions independently with a hands‑on attitude and a drive to improve processes and people.

• Confidence in developing large teams and managing change.
• Strong customer service focus.
• Flexibility to work a range of night shifts, including weekends.

Are you ready to be the guiding force behind a critical shift, leading with strength and fostering growth in others?
