This global organisation has worldwide brand recognition and is on both a major growth agenda as well as embarking on a cultural transformation. Much more than just a traditional State Manager's role, we are seeking an exceptional and experienced Retail Leader to join this business and help be part of this exciting journey.
Reporting to the GM of Retail, you will be responsible for a significant portfolio of stores with high volume foot traffic and ensuring promotional activity, instore VM, workforce planning, training and astute financial management practices are in place. You will manage a large team that will include directly Senior Regional Managers and indirectly Area Managers. You will thrive on coaching and mentoring your people, ensuring best practice retail standards around service, in store presentation and the overall customer experience are being upheld. With full P+L responsibility, you will be accountable for the operating profit of your stores and will instinctively understand inventory management, wage ratios, shrinkage and how to maximise floor space for return on real estate. Coupled with this you will build and maintain strong cross functional internal relationships with Merchandise, Marketing, Planning, HR and Finance.
This is an excellent career opportunity for an energetic, experienced and professional Senior Retail Executive. You will be tertiary qualified in business or a related degree and will bring significant multi site retail operations experience (most likely at National Management level) that could be gained from any retail product category or you may come from another large multi-site business, ie Travel, Tourism or Hospitality. With excellent communication skills, you thrive on relationship building and are a true merchant who has the financial acumen to support your strong leadership style. Ideally you will be living in Queensland, however New South Wales is also an option for the right candidate. An attractive salary package will be negotiated to secure the right candidate for this opportunity.
