Your mission will be to serve your customers, support your colleagues, and champion your local community, ensuring the store is the best place to work and shop. As the heart of your store, you will be responsible for driving success across four key areas: Customer & Commercial Performance

Responsibilities

• Community Engagement: Local Champion - build strong, positive relationships within the local community, understanding the vital role your store plays and actively seeking ways to offer support.

About You

We are looking for leaders who can inspire, adapt, and deliver results. While prior experience in a fast-paced, service-focused environment (such as retail, convenience, or hospitality) is beneficial, we prioritise the following leadership qualities:

• People Development: A genuine passion for spotting, coaching, and developing talent within your team, fostering a high-performing and collaborative culture.
• Inspiration & Influence: The ability to motivate and inspire your team, while also listening and influencing stakeholders to think broadly about new ways of doing things.
• Hands-On Attitude: A willingness to "roll up your sleeves" and work alongside your team to support the delivery of day-to-day store objectives.
• Resilience: High level of personal resilience and strong problem‑solving skills to navigate challenges effectively.

Perks

Salary: We don't advertise salary because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Morrisons. Our recruitment team will always discuss this with you early in the process as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary.

• Annual leave: 28 days holiday
• Colleague Discount: 15% discount across convenience, supermarkets and online
