• Store Ownership: Independently manage all store operations, cash processes, and team delegations in the absence of the Store Manager.

• Operational Excellence: Diligently manage deliveries, oversee the till area, monitor stock integrity, and strictly comply with Health and Safety standards.

• Performance Driven: Closely monitor, manage, and continuously look for ways to improve key performance indicators (KPIs).

• Customer Champion: Act as a friendly face for every customer, resolving queries and delivering unmatched customer service.

What You’ll Need

To excel in this dynamic management role, you will bring:

• Management Experience: A proven track record of leading, developing, and motivating a team within a challenging, high-volume environment.

• Commercial Mindset: Strong problem-solving abilities, excellent time management, and a knack for successful delegation.

• KPI Management: The ability to understand retail data and use it to improve store performance.

• Communication Skills: Open, friendly, and authoritative communication to guide your colleagues and connect with customers.

• Confidence: The presence and resilience to support your team through every shift and adapt to changing priorities.
