• Coach and lead store managers and teams to maximise sales & profitability
• Support stores in embedding the Pandora Customer Experience model and delivering world-class customer experiences.

Coaching & Talent Development

• Act as a role model and coach to store teams and leaders, fostering a culture of continuous development.
• Provide feedback and coaching to embed learning and drive behavioural change.
• Support succession planning and talent development through targeted capability building.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with Retail Operations, HR, VM, Merchandising and other stakeholders to ensure training supports broader business initiatives.
• Champion Pandora’s values — We Dare, We Care, We Dream, We Deliver — through all training and coaching interactions.

Ideal candidates will have

• Established, experienced senior retail leadership experience with a proven track record in retail sales training,
• Proven experience managing multiple locations with a track record of achieving KPIs and driving performance, with a target-driven and sales-focused approach.
• High level of business acumen and ability to interpret sales data to inform decisions and strategic planning
• Exceptional facilitation and coaching skills.
• Experience designing and delivering training content using adult learning principles.
• Ability to prioritise and work effectively under time pressure to manage multiple projects and stakeholders in a fast-paced, matrixed environment.
• Strong communication skills (written, verbal, and interpersonal).
• Self-starter with high levels of organisation, motivation, influence and resilience.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and virtual learning platforms.
