Retail Operations Manager, Ely, Up to £45,000
Stepping into this Retail Operations Manager role offers far more than day-to-day management. This is an opportunity to take real ownership of a thriving retail operation, influence how the business runs at a senior level, and develop your career within a family-run business that genuinely invests in its people.
My client is offering the Retail Operations Manager the chance to work closely with the Directors, shape operational strategy, and lead a large, multi-department retail environment where your ideas and leadership style will be valued and supported. With structured training, ongoing support, and clear career development, this Retail Operations Manager position is designed for someone ready to elevate their impact.
As Retail Operations Manager, you’ll oversee the smooth running of the retail operation, ensuring high standards across multiple departments while empowering experienced department managers to perform at their best. Reporting directly to the Directors, you’ll guide operational planning, coordinate rotas and seasonal activity, and play a pivotal role in major retail projects such as peak seasonal changeovers.
This role naturally suits a Retail Operations Manager who enjoys being hands-on, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in creating well-organised, high-performing teams and retail spaces.
Alongside the scope and autonomy of the Retail Operations Manager role, my client offers a package designed to support both performance and wellbeing:
Competitive salary of £40,000–£45,000 (depending on experience)
Every other weekend off plus a fixed weekday off on rotation
Ongoing training and development to support long-term career progression
A senior leadership position with direct access to decision-makers
My client is a well-established, family-run retail business with a strong reputation and a collaborative leadership culture. They believe in promoting from within, developing their people, and creating an environment where managers are trusted to lead, grow, and make a genuine difference. The team is experienced, supportive, and passionate about delivering a high-quality retail experience, making this an ideal setting for a Retail Operations Manager who wants stability, growth, and purpose in their next move.
If you’re ready to step into a Retail Operations Manager role where your leadership will be recognised, your development supported, and your contribution truly matters, this is a conversation worth having.
