About the Role

All the while, you\'ll be focused on achieving the bigger goals: maximising sales, minimising costs, ensuring outstanding customer service, and driving operational performance.

This is not a desk-based role — it\'s a hands-on manager position where you\'ll be expected to lead by example, roll up your sleeves, and get involved in the day-to-day running of the store.
