Job description

Company Description

The Warehouse Group (TWG) is New Zealand's largest retailer employing over 11,000 people across our reputable brands and our purpose is simple. Helping Kiwis live better every day.

If you're a people person with a knack for leadership and a passion for creating great customer experiences, this is a role where you'll be a crucial part of our store management team dedicated to making shopping easy and enjoyable for all of our customers!

In return, we offer a competitive salary, perks like a day off on your birthday, and a discount card valid across The Warehouse Group brands.

Job Description

As Trading Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing everything Shop-floor related. Reporting to the Store Manager you will ensure merchandising and trading standards are maintained, the Manager's Trading Plan is delivered, and pricing integrity and availability meet expectations.

When customers walk through our doors, they should be able to locate what they want with ease and walk out satisfied and as Balclutha is one of our smaller stores, this role also incorporates the availability function meaning you will oversee the presentation, merchandising, restocking and recovery at a time when it has the least impact on customers. There are tight timeframes to ensure our stores are well stocked and look their best and this takes quality leadership. The look and feel of our store for a great customer experience comes down to you and your team!

Here you get to recruit, lead, coach, and motivate your teams to thrive, enjoy their work and achieve awesome results all while ensuring it's a safe and positive work environment for everyone.

We value each other and we consider team working to be an essential way of working. We achieve things as a team and therefore need an ambitious candidate who is keen to continue their retail management career with The Warehouse.

Qualifications

Ultimately, we are seeking a motivated and experienced individual with proven leadership capabilities and a proactive, 'can-do' attitude. Excellent communication skills are essential while prior experience in a retail environment, particularly in areas such as stock management, merchandising, recovery, and visual presentation, would be highly advantageous. The ideal candidate will be someone who is hands-on and enjoys actively contributing to the team's success.
