Argos Store Manager Designate

Argos Store Manager Designate - Greater Belfast Area

Join to apply for the Argos Store Manager Designate - Greater Belfast Area role at Sainsbury's.

This Store Manager Role will initially be employed to be a store manager designate across the Argos Stores within the Greater Belfast Area.

Just think what you could achieve with the support of your own management team. Experiences that customers love in an ever-changing retail environment. You’ll have a team to nurture and develop and even more management opportunities on the horizon. Discover the rest of your career at Argos.

You’ll create and lead a high‑performing team and act as a true role model by seeing everything from the customer’s point of view. In that way, you’ll inspire, motivate and empower everybody around you.

Your focus on the business itself will be just as strong. Supported by your management team, you’ll have total accountability for the store – driving performance, plans and actions; celebrating success and making sure that your teams are trained and developed to be the best that they can be.

A natural coach and communicator, you’ll support as strongly as you challenge and be as flexible as you expect your team to be. You can see the link between actions and the customer, and work to resolve issues quickly.

Your planning and organising skills will be key – each Argos store is a big, fast‑moving business in its own right, and you’ll look ahead to make sure you have all the resources you need. Every day, you’ll use your commercial acumen and creative approach to change.

There’s a host of routes to choose from. Prove yourself in this role, and we’ll really encourage you to develop. Whether you choose to stay with Argos or move across and develop in one of our Sainsbury’s stores or regions, you’ll have every opportunity to take your career where you want it to go.

• Relentless in your pursuit of better customer experiences – you’ve evidence how you changed things for the better for customers in a previous role.
