About you...
We are looking for someone who is (or has been) an experienced store manager within a retail environment. A can-do spirit is essential in retail so this is a non-negotiable for us! We want candidates who understand the financial side of business - previous KPI exposure and working to targets is a must. We also want people who know how to recruit great team members - you spot potential and can coach & mentor individuals to bring that out.

If that sounds like you, we’ll make you feel right at home.
