At Asda, we want you to find your everything. As our Operations Manager, you’ll lead the execution of our store’s day-to-day operations across key departments—including Ambient, Fresh, George (clothing), and General Merchandise. You’ll ensure that availability is maximised, waste and shrink are minimised, and our store runs efficiently and safely. You’ll work closely with department managers to deliver consistent standards, drive productivity, and ensure our store is always ready for customers. Whether it’s managing delivery flow, stock routines, or compliance, you’ll be the driving force behind operational excellence.

• Commercially aware: You understand how availability, waste, and shrink impact performance—and you know how to improve them.
• Leadership: You lead and support department managers, creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Organised and efficient: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and know how to prioritise and delegate effectively.
• Collaborative: You work across teams to ensure smooth operations and a seamless customer experience.
• Data-driven: You use insight to make informed decisions and drive operational improvements.
What you’ll bring:
• Experience managing or supervising in a large-format retail environment.
• Strong operational knowledge across food and non-food departments.
• A track record of improving availability, reducing waste, and managing shrink.
• Confidence in leading teams and managing change.
• Flexibility to work a range of shifts, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends.
