A global luxury retailer is looking to recruit for a deputy general manager to work in one of its multi-million pound flagship locations. They have been beating sales forecast and are delivering a record-breaking sales performance.
The role of a deputy general manager in this organisation is slightly different to a normal retail management role. It is to drive sales through the effective management of product range, placement and stock holding. Your role will be to work alongside the brands to ensure the sales and commercial targets are achieved. There is a large amount of stakeholder relationship management required in the role. You will be liaising with buying, merchandising, space planning and suppliers, as well as the team based in the store itself.
You will have the autonomy over the layout of the store, the depth of range stocked and promotional planning. Therefore, someone who enjoys the commercial analysis of managing a multi-million pound operation is vital. The average length of service in the management team is one of the highest in the retail industry.
In return they are looking to pay a salary of up to £45,000 with a performance related annual bonus of up to £9,000 per year. Tired of working long hours and every weekend? In this role you will only work one weekend in three and will work contracted hours of 38.
