Guided by our values & behaviours — Caring, Dynamic and Together — you create an environment where your team feels connected, works with passion, and consistently achieves strong results.

You foster a dynamic workplace where the customer is at the heart of everything, and where everyone feels involved, motivated, and driven to succeed together.

• A competitive salary
• An attractive bonus scheme
• 8% holiday allowance and 25 days of annual leave based on a full‑time contract

• Access to our Digital Learning Platform, offering a wide range of training and development opportunities
• Collective discount on your supplementary health insurance
• Pension scheme through the Retail Pension Fund (Pensioenfonds Detailhandel)
• Access to our Let’s Talk programme, providing free and confidential support for you and your household — available 24/7 for mental wellbeing and practical guidance
• Great extras through Benefits at Work, with attractive discounts on fashion, electronics, home, and days out

What you do as a Store Manager
