Ready to take the next step in your retail management career?

Are you an ambitious Retail Manager who enjoys leading teams, improving store performance and making a real difference? This is an exciting opportunity to step into a varied Store Manager Designate role, supporting multiple stores across the region and helping retail teams achieve their full potential.

Working alongside Store Managers and the wider regional management team, you'll play an important part in driving sales, improving performance, developing people and delivering outstanding customer experiences.

If you're commercially minded, hands-on and enjoy the variety of working across different retail environments, this could be the perfect next move.

The Role

As Store Manager Designate, you'll work across a number of stores, providing leadership, guidance and operational support to help drive business performance.

No two days will necessarily be the same. You'll be involved in everything from improving sales and achieving KPIs to coaching colleagues, supporting store operations and ensuring customers receive an excellent experience.

• Supporting day-to-day store operations, security and health and safety compliance.
• Identifying areas for improvement and helping stores deliver consistent operational standards.

About You

You'll already have experience managing a retail store or leading a team within a busy retail environment. You're someone who understands what makes a store successful, from getting the best out of people to managing stock, driving sales and delivering great customer service.

We're particularly interested in people who are ready to broaden their experience and take on a more varied, regional role.

• At least two years' retail management experience, ideally as a Store Manager, Assistant Store Manager or Deputy Manager.
• A proven track record of achieving sales targets and improving retail performance.
• Good commercial awareness, with an understanding of sales figures, budgets, profit margins and KPIs.
• Experience managing stock, merchandising and day-to-day retail operations.
• The ability to lead, coach and motivate teams, bringing out the best in people.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
• A flexible and adaptable approach, with the confidence to support different teams and store environments.
• A full UK driving licence and the flexibility to travel between stores across the region.

• £35,000 annual salary.
• 33 days' annual leave, including bank holidays.
• Contributory pension, with employer contributions matched up to 5%.
• Up to 25% colleague discount.
