• Daily communication with office and warehouse teams to ensure the store has the stock, resources, and information required to operate well.

• Managing stock, including receiving deliveries, creating adjustments, conducting rolling stocktakes, and working to minimise loss and maintain optimum stock levels.

• Keeping the team informed and aligned around business objectives, store procedures, and individual expectations.

• Working with the Marketing team to ensure the success of store events and in-store campaigns.

• Sharing insights from the floor, such as ideas, customer feedback, and observations, with the broader business to help us continually improve how we operate.

• Conducting staff training around new arrivals, our brands and ranges, and any other relevant areas of upskilling.

• Demonstrating exceptional sales and service skills on the floor, role-modelling the standards you expect from your team.

• Taking reasonable care for the health and safety of yourself and others, including providing information, instruction, and supervision to ensure compliance with all relevant procedures.
