Key responsibilities include:

Delivering store-specific action plans to improve sales, profitability, and overall performance across your area.
Conducting regular sales and performance reviews, using data and insight to identify trends, opportunities, and areas for improvement.
Identifying and implementing cost-saving opportunities without compromising product quality, customer service, or operational standards.
Maximising the effectiveness of promotions, seasonal launches, and product initiatives to drive sales growth and customer engagement.
Driving customer satisfaction through exceptional service standards, product quality, and speed of service.
Ensuring all products are consistently presented in line with company merchandising and brand standards.
Maintaining excellent food quality, availability, and operational standards across all stores.
Ensuring product availability throughout trading hours through effective planning, forecasting, and stock management.
Delivering consistency and operational excellence across all locations within your area.
Coaching, motivating, and developing store teams to create a culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement.
Identifying succession opportunities and supporting the development of internal talent pipelines.
Leading from the front with a visible, hands-on approach in stores.
Building strong working relationships with Store Managers, Retail Area Managers, and wider support teams.
Using reporting tools and operational data to track performance and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
Ensuring full compliance with company policies, legal requirements, food safety standards, and operational procedures.
Conducting regular audits and compliance reviews, implementing corrective actions where required.
Supporting the training and development of both new and existing colleagues across the region.

A Few Things About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

A strong and inspiring leader who can motivate, engage, and develop high-performing teams across multiple locations.
Commercially aware with strong analytical skills and confident in interpreting data to turn insight into action.
Passionate about delivering excellent customer service and maintaining high operational standards.
An excellent communicator who can build strong relationships, influence others, and create a collaborative, accountable working culture.
Passionate about continuous improvement and always looking for ways to enhance performance, efficiency, and the customer experience.
Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Proactive with a hands-on, “see it and fix it” approach.
Comfortable working across multiple sites and travelling regularly.
Experienced in retail, food service, hospitality, or multi-site operations.
Someone who thrives in a fast-paced and constantly evolving environment.
