We’re looking for confident, people-first leaders who thrive in fast-moving environments, make bold decisions, and know how to bring the best out of others.

• A department that trades strongly, looks brilliant and delivers five-star service
• A motivated, multiskilled team who feel supported, challenged and proud of what they deliver
• Clear ownership of standards, safety, availability and operational excellence
• Strong commercial results driven by insight, pace and great leadership
• A culture where people feel valued, developed and excited to grow with M&S

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience leading teams in a fast-paced retail or customer-focused environment
• Strong commercial awareness with the confidence to use data and insight to drive results
• The ability to coach, develop and performance-manage with clarity and empathy
• Confidence having constructive, sometimes difficult conversations
• A resilient, adaptable mindset with the energy to lead through change
• Digital confidence and a willingness to embrace new ways of working
• A natural role model for great service, inclusion and M&S behavior's
• This is a role for leaders who don’t stand still. Who raise the bar, back their people, and take real pride in delivering results the right way.
