We are hiring for an Assistant Store Manager to join one of our exciting stores based in Middlesbrough. 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 and to acquire and develop a Store Manager’s duties, ultimately being trained to advance to that position.
We invest in training and development and this role will be no different. Our aim is to build an environment where employees can achieve, develop, and progress. You will be supported with regular one‑to‑one sessions, training, and support, and will be given all the tools to thrive and feel empowered on your journey with us.
About You
* 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.
