What you bring:

Retail leadership experience in a fast-paced environment

A hands-on approach and pride in execution

Confidence supporting performance and holding standards

Strong organisation and operational discipline

A team-first mindset

The ambition to grow into a Store Manager role

You take ownership. You follow through. You get stuck in.
