Requirements

  • If retail’s your speciality and you share our passion for exceptional customer service, you’ll make a great Deputy Store Manager.
  • You’ve worked in retail, you’ve led teams and you can show us where you’ve exceeded sales and profit targets.
  • But more than anything, you know the ingredients that make for magical customer experiences – and you’re able to get the best out of team members to make it happen.

  • We do ask that you are flexible to work in alternative locations if required.

Responsibilities

  • Working alongside the Store Manager, you’ll inspire, manage and develop a small store team, driving sales and profitability while delivering outstanding customer service.
  • As well as making sure that your store works like clockwork and is beautifully presented, you’ll help team members to become product experts and give them the confidence (and know-how) to make the most of sales opportunities and build strong relationships with our retail and trade customers.
  • You’ll constantly be looking for exciting new ways to improve your store and the customer experience.
  • By having an interest in interior design or being a creative person, you will be able to inspire our customers in their style choices using leading edge technology which really allows our customers’ projects to come to life.
  • No two days are the same, one minute you could be getting creative, the next helping with our traders.
  • Lifting tiles is part of the job as is putting away deliveries!
