Assistant Store Manager

Description

We are hiring for an Assistant Store Manager to join one of our exciting stores based at Glasgow Fort. There’s an established team in place, and you will be working directly with them to help create the best customer shopping experience possible. Footasylum is a business that believes in our front‑end retail staff.

An Assistant Manager will be responsible for assisting the Store Manager with the store’s day‑to‑day responsibilities. You will take on managerial tasks such as overseeing employees, modelling effective leadership and offering excellent customer service. A primary responsibility is to carry out the Manager’s role in their absence, developing skills to ultimately advance to that position.

We invest in training and development and this role will be no different. Our aim is to continue to build an environment where employees can achieve, develop, and progress. You will be supported through regular one‑to‑one sessions, training, and ongoing support, and given the tools to thrive and feel empowered on your journey with us.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about fashion retail and aligned with our company values. The ideal Assistant Store Manager will bring:

• Proven experience in fashion retail, ideally in a managerial role within a fast‑paced environment
• A strong track record of leading, motivating, and developing high‑performing teams
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
• The ability to thrive under pressure and adapt quickly to changing priorities
• Exceptional organisational skills and a customer‑first mindset
• A deep understanding of the fashion industry and current market trends

Ideal for candidates currently working as a Deputy Store Manager, Retail Operations Supervisor, Store Management Associate, Assistant Retail Manager, or Sales Floor Manager.

We’ve been on a journey, growing significantly over the last few years. We are vibrant, engaged and performing well. Innovation is key to our business, and we have been looking at how we deliver value to our wider Retail estate. We want to create a place for colleagues to do their best work, and you will have the opportunity to influence our decisions, help define Retail standards across the Estate and contribute to a happy and healthy working environment.

We recognise and value the importance of diversity to help make sure we have lots of different perspectives when we are providing services to our colleagues and customers. We know that this will help us build a great service, which our customers will love. Diversity for us is also, importantly, about building happy teams full of people that want to learn and want to be inspired by each other and our different experiences.

We review applications on an individual basis, and if we feel you would be a good fit we’ll invite you for a face‑to‑face chat about the role, and to see if we’re a good fit for you. We value open and honest conversations and collaboration, giving you a chance to learn about what we are doing in an informal and friendly environment.

We want to know about you, and why you feel this is the opportunity for you.
