Assistant Store Manager - Southampton
This is about helping to run a £multi-million store, while motivating and developing a diverse and talented team. One day could find you supporting the Store Manager with sorting out deliveries, placing orders or dealing with customer queries. The next, you might be focused on people management and performance or organising holiday rotas for the team. At the same time, you’ll help to handle the overriding goals of maximising sales in your store, ensuring great customer service, minimising costs and optimising operational efficiency. It means you’ll be more than prepared to step into the Store Manager’s shoes in their absence. Our Assistant Store Managers are passionate about doing well; motivating and developing their teams to deliver excellent customer service.
