Supervisor - 16 Hour Permanent Contract in Oxford

Originally selling workwear to local mariners and practical overalls to artists, our story began in a small shop in Penzance in 1981. Over the years we’ve grown into a leading UK lifestyle brand with over 80 shops across the UK and Ireland, 400+ wholesale partners and a thriving online business, but never losing touch of our roots. Our passion for well-crafted clothing, exemplary customer service and connection to our local communities drives everything we do.

As we continue to grow in the UK and internationally, we are focussed on delivering excellence across every touchpoint, whether that is at our warehouse, in store or through our customer service channels, building a team that shares our values. Each employee plays a part in the success of Seasalt, and this was evidenced by our Drapers Award win of “Best Place to Work”.

Our Supervisors take responsibility of the store and team members when required. They deliver exceptional customer service, ensure the shop always looks its best and support the Store Manager and Assistant Store Manager with the day-to-day running of the store. We now have a fantastic opportunity for a Supervisor to join the Oxford team on a 16 hour permanent contract.

You'll help us by:

• Supporting the management team in creating a service culture within the store team that puts the customer at the heart of everything they do.
• Guiding the Sales Advisor team on how to recommend additional services to drive sales such as omni-channel selling, gathering customer data, and recommending add-on purchases.
• Supporting the store leadership team with driving store sales, profitability and consistent KPI achievement.
• Implementing store visual merchandising, windows standards and guidelines and utilising all product, categories, and bestseller information to maximise commercial opportunities within the store.
• Training the Sales Advisor team to have a thorough knowledge of our brand, products, design inspiration and services.
• Communicating store performances to your team and key stakeholders around the business, providing regular feedback, highlighting any risks and opportunities to sales for the business.
• Supporting your Store Manager with all store operations such as management of stock, loss prevention, escalation and incident reporting, health, and safety, GDPR, cash handling, key holder responsibilities and store safety standards amongst others.
• Being a key-holder for the store and having sole responsibility for running the store when required.

The skills you'll be sharing with the team:

• Coaching will come naturally to you; you’ll be passionate about inspiring your team to have excellent product knowledge and will lead by example with your customer service skills.
• Driving sales, thinking commercially, and working towards KPI’s will be really important to you and is key to this role.
• Difficult situations don’t phase you as you have an adaptable and resilient attitude, being able to respond positively to change.
• You’ll be confident in giving feedback to all members of the team, along with sharing ideas with management on how to drive performance.
