We believe in creating thoughtful spaces that make life that little bit more beautiful - and meaningful. Our carefully considered collections of furniture, kitchens, lighting and homewares are designed to stand the test of time, and it's our people who bring our brand to life each day. We're now searching for a Head of Stores to lead our retail offering within our South region, inspiring and supporting each space to thrive. Helping your stores to deliver exceptional customer experiences, reach their revenue goals, and truly feel part of the Neptune family. This is a pivotal leadership role, perfect for someone who has a head for business, a heart for people, and an unwavering love for interiors and great design. This role is about inspiring leadership and strategic thinking in equal measure. You'll spend around 80% of your time visiting your stores within your region and regular visits to our support office in Wiltshire. From coaching on the shop floor to high-level financial planning, you'll be equally comfortable driving growth, championing training and development, and ensuring our customer journey is second to none. You'll be key in setting - and meeting - ambitious, yet thoughtful, regional KPIs and bringing local marketing ideas to life that really connect with our communities. You'll be responsible for: Motivating and leading your store teams to deliver a world-class customer experience. Driving revenue and profitability, with a strong focus on design services and average order values. Working closely with store owners and managers to monitor and improve P&L performance. Creating localised marketing and awareness initiatives to boost regional visibility. Supporting the recruitment, coaching and progression of talented individuals. Maintaining our high standards in brand presentation, visual merchandising and store operations. Handling customer escalations with care and poise, always seeking ways to do better. We are looking for someone who is a natural leader with a warm, encouraging style. Someone who can adapt their style to the situation and lift others with your presence. You will bring a track record in multi-site or regional retail leadership, ideally within a premium or design-led environment, and bring both commercial acumen and a love for quality and craftsmanship. It's important that you are commercially minded, analytical, and confident in setting and reviewing KPIs. You will also be exceptionally organised, with experience in budgeting and forecasting. You will also be passionate about interiors, kitchens or design-led retail and a clear communicator with strong presentation skills. It goes without saying you'll also be tech-savvy (Excel, PowerPoint, Microsoft Office) and also happy to travel extensively throughout the UK, with a full UK driving licence.
