• Execution-focused: Ensuring shopfloor is landed and presentable for customers before handing over to day team with promotion, Foyer and hot spots fit for trade.
• 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 supervising or managing teams in a 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 teams and managing change.
• Strong customer service focus.
