We will need you to operate collaboratively in partnership with the Regional Manager to address and drive short-term and long-range ambitions, plans and budgets based on your in store goals and growth objectives. Customer-centric, you will thrive in a fast-paced environment with prior experience developing and managing high performing teams within an in store setting. We will need you to demonstrate previous experience managing an in store team with the ability to influence, coach and sustain trusted relationships with colleagues at all levels with a low-ego and self-aware leadership style.
