What the role involves

Reporting to the Store Manager, you will oversee a strong team and help improve store turnover and revenue by applying lean working methods.

• Take responsibility for the daily operation of a department.
• Step in as Duty Manager for the full store when Store Management is unavailable.
• Support Store Management in meeting company KPI targets.
• Make sure the team consistently provides excellent customer service.
• Maintain strong standards in store appearance, stock handling, shrinkage control, and administrative compliance.
• Follow all health and safety policies as well as relevant legislation.
• Use management reports and operational data to guide business decisions.

Candidate profile

The employer is seeking someone with a background in a busy retail setting who is comfortable spending time on the shop floor rather than in an office. The right person will bring strong leadership, planning, organisation, communication, and interpersonal skills. A successful applicant should be driven by targets, focused on customer service, highly motivated, ambitious, self-starting, and ready to take a hands-on approach.

Application note
