St Albans

As Retail General Manager, you'll take full ownership of the store's performance and direction. Reporting to the Regional Manager, you'll be responsible for:

• Leading all short, medium, and long-term plans for your site
• Setting and maintaining high standards across layout, product mix, visual merchandising, and service
• Driving sales, optimising operations, and managing budgets, including full P&L responsibility
• Delivering projects and overseeing almost everything that happens day-to-day

This isn't just a job - it's your store to run. You'll have the autonomy to make decisions, backed by a supportive leadership structure that's there when you need it and hands-off when you don't. Expect comprehensive training, a competitive package, a solid bonus, and a sensible approach to work-life balance (late nights and weekend work are kept to a minimum outside of peak periods).

You're an ambitious retailer with energy, ideas, and a genuine passion for delivering results. You combine a strong commercial instinct with a hands‑on approach, thriving when you have the freedom to make things happen.

Key strengths we're looking for:

• Proven ability to lead and inspire teams
• Expertise in visual merchandising and creating a compelling customer experience
• Strong analytical skills and a knack for spotting opportunities to grow sales and reduce shrink
• Entrepreneurial mindset and confidence in taking ownership of decisions

This is a household name with a long‑standing reputation for quality and innovation. Financially rock‑solid and forward‑thinking, they're investing in growth and committed to staying ahead of the curve.
