Job description

As a Store Manager in your local Store, we want to use your product knowledge, ability to engage with customers and your team management to help drive your store’s performance.

You’ll still have the chance to be on the shop floor and help our customers to find Sleep wellness ™with the right sleep products, but we also want you to lead and inspire your team of Consultants. This means that our unique sleepPRO™ technology won’t be the only one making sure that customers and colleagues alike can get the best night’s sleep! We’ll make sure that you’re fully trained on products, processes and people because we rest easy when we know you’re set up for success, but we won’t stop there. Like our mattresses, we’ll also provide ongoing support (and training) to make sure you can build the career you want.

We want our stores to be somewhere our teams can be proud and to show off our products, so you’ll lead your team to get stuck in, move product around, and maintain the standards that create the best sleeping experiences!

Our customers are in when they’re free to shop, so we’re talking evenings, weekends and bank holidays, this is where you’ll be able to make the most of our fantastic, uncapped commission structure, so it’ll be essential for you to be available to take those opportunities while finding the right balance.

You’ll blend business management, commercial know-how and a real dedication to seeing your team (and so your store) perform financially, professionally, and personally to create success. The question is, are you ready to lead by example, to try new things to help your business move forward?

The cool side of the pillow (our benefits):

We know you’ll work hard to drive your store’s performance, so as well as your base salary and OTE based on your targets, there’s no upper limit to what you can earn beyond that. There’s also monthly store bonus potential when your store achieves its target! In addition, we offer:

• A highly competitive, achievable and rewarding commission structure
• Health and Wellbeing:*Medicash- cashback options for Health and Wellbeing services, Access to Retail Trust services (guidance and support on retail issues, mental health, wellbeing & financial topics), *BUPA Private Healthcare, and Life Assurance.
