Cardiff, new store opening

Permanent ⁄ £19000 - £33000

Updated September 23, 2008

I am looking for high calibre candidates who have at least 2 years experience as a Store Manager or Duty Manager from a high volume retailer. This new store opening requires a Store Manager and 2x Duty Managers. The ideal candidates will be expected to deliver K.P.I.'s based on sales, profit, customer service and compliance. The stores ordinarily operate in large out of town sites with a footprint of 10-25,000 Sq Ft, therefore an ability to implement effective processes is essential.

Due to the nature of the product this is a fast moving environment with a heavy bias toward seasonal trading. An ability to deliver innovative merchandising and react to sales patterns is therefore essential.

The ideal candidates will be driven, hard working and determined to develop both their own and their team's careers. In return for this you will be given opportunities to significantly enhance your skill set and progress your career in a short time scale. This is a unique opportunity to be involved in the first stage of a rapid expansion program.

Who we're looking for
• Strong leadership with a "can do" mindset
• Target and K.P.I driven with excellent cost control management
• The ability to work in an autonomous environment with a limited support structure.
• Excellent communication skills
• Exceptional customer service
• High standard of visual presentation and merchandising
• The ability to manage a high turnover unit with a footprint of between 10-25,000 Sq Ft
• An understanding of the need for flexibility particularly in peak trading
• The desire to continually develop your business
• Career Driven
