The Warehouse is the brand that began it all. Founded in 1982 by Sir Stephen Tindall, the first ‘red shed’ challenged established retailers and proved popular with customers as a result of its simple style, and wide range of products at bargain prices. The Warehouse has become a Kiwi household name, and we proudly recognise the role that we play in communities throughout New Zealand.
Since 1991, Warehouse Stationery has also been successfully innovating in the stationery-retail sector and overtime we have incorporated more of this business within The Warehouse stores as a ‘Store within a Store’ (SWAS) to serve our valued customers with a true ‘one stop shop’ for all their personal, household and office needs.
The SWAS Trading Manager is responsible for the Stationery shop floor area, including the print and copy centre, as well as the Entertainment and Technology area of The Warehouse.
Leading the teams of those areas, you will deliver and maintain blue-print and merchandising standards and deliver the trading plans, overseeing the implementation and maintenance of planograms and ensuring pricing integrity and availability meets expectations.
You will also provide support for the opening and closing of the store and take on sole charge of the entire store when required.
Ideally to be successful in this role you will at least have:
· Demonstrated successful leadership experience
· The ability to interpret and execute plans with a good eye for detail
· Strong written and verbal communication skills
Everything you do will contribute to a positive customer experience, an engaged team and a profitable store
We can talk for days about our additional leave options, wellness programmes, and range of discounts that are available. But there's more to it than that. It's the trust, support & flexibility within our team that sets us apart. We have a framework to help you get things done, but you have the freedom to make the real magic happen in your store.
The Warehouse Group (TWG) is a New Zealand success story, founded by Sir Stephen Tindall and evolved from a single The Warehouse store to become one of the largest retailing groups in New Zealand with $3 billion in sales. TWG consists of three core retail brands: The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, and Noel Leeming. We have over 180 retail stores, online stores as well as distribution centres throughout New Zealand. We also have two overseas sourcing offices located in China and India. We are a people-centred business with more than 10,000 team employees across our locations.
TWG is known for being Here for Good - it’s who we are and what keeps us focused to succeed. It represents our commitment to better living for all New Zealanders, through sustainable retail products and practices and the mission of contributing to the long-lasting health of our planet.
Over the years, we’ve raised over 50 million dollars for New Zealand communities and have contributed to countless community-focussed initiatives. We were the first company in New Zealand to add a Shielded Site link to the Women's Refuge website to help protect those experiencing family violence, and were a key supporter of the Government’s Family Violence Victims’ Protection Bill. We were New Zealand’s first large company and the third major retailer in the world to go carbon neutral.
While we are 40+ years old as a business, in many ways we feel we’re just getting started.
