Exciting Leadership Opportunity with a Growing National Retailer

We are recruiting on behalf of a highly successful and rapidly expanding discount FMCG retailer that is investing heavily in its store network, with multiple new store openings planned across the UK.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Store Manager to take full ownership of a busy retail operation while developing their career within a business that actively promotes from within and rewards success.

• Excellent people management and leadership skills.
• A hands-on management style with a willingness to lead by example.
• Strong organisational and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic and fast-moving environment.
• Passion for developing teams and future leaders.

Genuine Autonomy

You’ll be trusted to make decisions, take ownership of your business area, and implement ideas that drive performance.
