  • Analyse and act on business reports to drive strong commercial and social results.
  • Manage new store openings, refurbishments, and store transitions.
  • Proactively recruit and retain volunteers and employees across all locations.

About You

  • Demonstrated success in multi-site retail management.
  • Excellent people leadership and communication skills, with the ability to inspire teams through change.
  • Strong commercial acumen and confidence with business reporting.
  • A hands-on approach and a heart for community impact.
  • Aligned with our mission and values: integrity, respect, compassion, collaboration, and diversity.
