You’ll turn every shelf, display, and corner into an experience that delights, inspires, and makes shopping feel effortless.

You’ll lead a passionate team, keep standards sky-high and help create the kind of shopping experience customers love and colleagues feel proud of. It’s a fast-paced, hands-on role that takes real energy and focus. But when everything comes together and you see our customers’ joy and those sales climbing – it’s seriously rewarding.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Be customer obsessed – consistently consider the impact of your actions on the customer experience, and strive to deliver joyful experiences in the most effective and thoughtful way.
  • Promote a culture of upselling, coaching the team on how to guide customers to what they might love, boosting impulse buys and basket sizes.
  • Consistently deliver exceptional customer service to support strong CSAT (Customer Satisfaction) scores, ensuring every customer receives a welcoming, helpful, and memorable experience.
  • Keep energy levels high by building team spirit, celebrating wins (big and small), and being the positive energy that everyone needs.
  • Have a clear plan for each day, so everyone knows what they’re doing and why it matters.
  • Check in with your team in wellbeing 121’s, progress and career conversations and support our store succession plan.
  • Support the Leadership Team in bringing the Engagement Action Plan to life.
  • Take ownership – be clear on the “why” behind what we’re doing and bring your team with you every step of the way.
  • Get out on the shopfloor every day with your Store Coach - spot wins, fix snags, and make sure the day runs smoothly.
  • Grow your team by coaching and mentoring – always be on the lookout for tomorrow’s leaders.

What we’ll look for in you:

  • You are customer obsessed - you inspire your team to put customers first and lead by example in every interaction.
  • You’ve got some solid management experience under your belt, ideally in a customer-facing role like retail or hospitality, where rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck in was all part of the job.
  • You know how to boost business performance and smash KPIs, all while keeping the store looking its best.
  • You’re passionate about creating brilliant shopping experiences that customers remember.
  • You’re a true team player, someone who knows how to communicate clearly, build strong connections, and lead a happy, high-performing team.

We’re not after a carbon copy of anyone else. We want people who bring something new to the table - different perspectives, fresh ideas, and a shared love of making our stores feel like home.
