From product placement and replenishment to organizing deliveries and preparing the store for key trading moments, you ensure the store runs efficiently and always meets brand standards.

You are closely involved in team coordination and development. You support scheduling based on business needs, contribute to recruitment processes, and work alongside HR and the Store Manager to ensure strong onboarding, training, and continuous development. Through your presence on the shop floor, you guide the team, set expectations, and help build a culture based on trust, collaboration, and accountability.

You also play an important role in maintaining store operations and standards, ensuring visual guidelines are followed, handling customer queries with confidence, and supporting procedures related to security, Health & Safety, and sustainability.

What you bring: This role suits someone who takes initiative and enjoys being hands‑on. You’re comfortable working with both people and performance, with the ability to organize, prioritize, and react in a fast‑paced environment. You bring a strong sense of ownership, support others through your actions, and contribute to achieving solid commercial results while developing the team around you.
