About the Role

Retail is ever-changing, and as we continue to transform our stores for the future and grow our online proposition to meet increasing customer demand, we are looking for customer-focused leaders to drive service excellence across both the store and our online operation.

Our Operations Managers are integral to the successful execution of our strategy and have overall accountability for the leadership and profitability of our online operation, the food hall, nights, and warehouse operations. The successful applicant will be responsible for delivering high operational standards within these areas, enabling a high-performance culture within their team.

The successful applicant will quickly become obsessed with our strategy, purpose, and customers, ensuring both our in-store and online customers have an outstanding shopping experience.

As part of the leadership team, you will work a three-week rolling rota including weekends, evenings, and late nights. You will also be a member of the duty management team, sometimes solely responsible for the store, so confidence in overseeing operations is necessary.

About You

You will have a proven track record in leading diverse teams, delivering operational excellence, and working in a fast-paced environment. You should be adaptable to change, detail-oriented, and able to execute plans effectively.

You will have an engaging leadership style, be a strong coach and mentor, and influence at all levels. Excellent communication skills and flexibility in approach are essential.

This role offers the opportunity to be part of the evolving retail world and make a difference every day in the shopping experience both in-store and online.

Benefits

Alongside a competitive salary, you'll enjoy benefits such as:

• 15% colleague discount at Asda from day 1
• Discretionary bonus scheme
• Enhanced electric car scheme
• Free eye tests
• Discounts on Asda services
• Wagestream flexible pay
• Company pension
• Wellbeing services including virtual GP, counselling, and more
• Inclusion networks
• Parental leave policies
• Recognition programs
• Special offers on various services and activities
