- Building relationships with customers and developing a loyal client base.
- Helping the team hit sales targets and deliver strong commercial results.
- Coaching and supporting team members as they settle into a new store.
- Assisting with recruitment, training and onboarding.
- Keeping the store looking its best and managing stock, presentation and day-to-day operations.
- Stepping in to run the store when the Store Business Manager is away.
- Bringing ideas, initiative and a hands-on approach to the launch.
