Full job description

Our Retail Manager will lead our Edinburgh community, bringing both commercial acumen and genuine optical expertise to every aspect of the role.

What you'll do

Play the leading role within our retail store team, working collaboratively with your team to drive sales, customer experience and operational excellence — drawing on your optical knowledge to elevate the quality of every customer interaction.
Demonstrate best practice and role model behaviours that bring our core values and service excellence to every IOLLA customer, every day. Confidently guide customers through lens choices, frame suitability, and prescription requirements, and inspire your team to do the same.
Be committed to the continuous growth of your team, creating a culture where learning, development, and progression are part of everyday life.
