What We're Looking For

You’ll be an experienced Store Manager with a strong background in sales-led retail and a proven ability to deliver results through people.

Experience within furniture, interiors, homeware, premium retail or another considered-purchase environment would be highly beneficial, although candidates from other high-value retail sectors will also be considered.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Commercially minded with a strong understanding of sales performance
• A confident and engaging people leader
• Passionate about delivering an excellent customer experience
• Comfortable working to ambitious targets and KPIs
• Experienced in coaching and developing sales teams
• Naturally customer-focused and confident building relationships
• Organised, proactive and willing to take ownership
• Passionate about interiors, design, furniture or lifestyle products

This is a role for a Store Manager who wants genuine ownership of their store and the opportunity to make a visible impact on both commercial performance and team development.

If you're an accomplished retail manager with a passion for sales, people and customer experience, this could be an excellent next step in your career.
