Requirements

  • Your leadership experience could be in any customer focussed industry, not necessarily Food Retail.
  • In fact, we’re keen to nurture the broadest mindsets in order to grow a management team that operates effectively across the store, so don’t worry if you don’t have the technical knowledge, we’re looking primarily for the desire to achieve success through your people and a love for connecting with customers.
  • You might currently be managing a smaller supermarket or convenience store or already in a team leadership role.
  • Maybe you’re looking for a new challenge after a career break or transferring from another big store retail environment or another sector.
  • Wherever you’re working now, you’ve demonstrated you can make a difference and love being part of a team.
  • What matters most is you – that you’re motivated to develop, dedicated to bringing out the best in others and, like all of us, passionate about customer service.
  • Trust us – we know how to make the most of your potential.

Responsibilities

  • You’ll be coaching, motivating and guiding your managers to work as a productive team, building their capabilities and leading them through change
  • You’ve mastered helping your team put themselves in the customers’ shoes, taking genuine pride in how we deliver a better service and spot opportunities
  • You’ll be leading through communication; clearly articulating how we’re performing and inspiring improvements for now, and the next quarter
  • Be confident in your ability to continuously prioritise and energise your team through the night
  • You will be developing yourself as the operational expert and acting as a role model for your team
  • You’re confident making decisions at pace and feel empowered and accountable to run your area of the store – and to deputise for the Store Manager
