Store Manager - Mt Barker

As Store Manager for Oscar Wylee in Mount Baker, your role will be to lead and inspire your team to deliver remarkable results and oversee day-to-day store operations.

You will work closely with our Optometrists and Optical Dispensers to ensure customers receive a blend of professional eye care and eyewear styling advice. Leading your team, you will strive to uphold exceptional customer service and care to everyone who visits your store. 

This is a new OW store opening in October.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Oversee store operations, compliance, and performance standards

• Provide hands-on support in-store, assisting with sales, service, and patient care 
• Partner with Optometrists to ensure every customer receives an exceptional experience 

About You: 

• Previous leadership experience in retail (title isn’t important - if you’ve coached people and driven results, we want to hear from you!) 
• Experience supporting or contributing to rosters, labour planning, or store performance - we’ll help you grow your capability in these areas.
• A passion for delivering great customer experiences 
• A keen interest in developing your skills in decision-making, coaching, and team culture
• No optical experience required - we’ll teach you all there is to know about optical retail. Some of our best store leaders joined from outside the industry!

Earnings: 

A base salary up to $70,000 plus superannuation.

Perks: 

• Get a free pair of prescription glasses every six months
• Treat your loved ones to Family & Friends discounts twice a year! 
• Work in our Mt Barker Central store, conveniently located on McLaren Street in the heart of Mt Barker. With ample free undercover parking and easy access via Hutchinson Street or Cameron Road, commuting to and from the store is simple and convenient. 
• Access to a variety of convenient communication tools, such as Google Suite, Deputy and HR platform Hibob, to stay in the loop with wider company updates
