Crown Paints are seeking to recruit a Store Manager to join our fantastic team based in Luton.
* The role is a permanent, full-time position working 40 hours per week (7am-5pm Monday - Friday and occasional Saturdays 8am-12pm).
* In return, we are offering a salary of £32,037 per annum + bonus + excellent benefits package.
What you can expect from this role?
This is a hands-on, people-focused role where every day offers the opportunity to make an impact. You will lead from the front of the store, becoming a familiar and trusted face to customers. Relationship building is key — from getting to know regulars to winning new business through confident prospecting and offering standout service.
There’s scope to bring ambition and proactive thinking. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on setting and achieving targets, enjoys problem-solving, and is results-driven. It offers the chance to shape sales performance and customer growth, with support and autonomy to make informed decisions.
Leadership is central. Managing and motivating a small team, you'll coach others, have meaningful conversations, and support team performance through effective time and task management.
You will take ownership of stock — controlling, forecasting needs, and ensuring smooth daily operations. Attention to detail and forward planning are essential.
Commercial understanding is important. You’ll get involved in store performance, working with financial targets such as profit and loss, KPIs, and margin management. It’s a great opportunity to develop commercial skills in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.
