Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia Lynch Group Full time
Overview

HR Administrator & Recruiter @ Lynch Group

Location: Wollongong, NSW

Work Type: Full-time

Are you ready to lead with heart, inspire with experience, and build a team that thrives together?

At Lynch Group, we're looking for an Area Manager who's not just a leader—but a mentor, motivator, and former merchandiser who understands the journey from the ground up.

The Role

This is more than a management position—it's a chance to shape careers, build confidence, and lead a team that looks to you for guidance and growth. You'll draw on your own merchandising experience to train, mentor, and uplift your team, helping them reach their potential while delivering outstanding results.

Your impact
  • Leading with empathy and clarity, building trust and respect across your team
  • Coaching merchandisers to understand not just the "how," but the "why" behind their work
  • Creating rosters and managing hours with fairness, foresight and budgets in mind
  • Ensuring promotional plans are executed with precision and pride
  • Collaborating with managers on onboarding, training, and performance development
  • Driving store-level sales targets and celebrating wins—big and small
  • Supporting the State Merchandising Manager with insights, strategy, and leadership
  • Championing safety, wellbeing, and compliance across your area

You've walked the path. You know the early mornings, the store resets, the pride in a perfectly merchandised display—and now, you're ready to lead from that lived experience. You bring empathy, resilience, and a deep understanding of what it takes to build a team that thrives. You're not just managing people—you're mentoring future leaders, setting the tone, and showing what great leadership looks like in action.

Qualifications
  • Proven experience managing a team of 4+ in a retail or merchandising environment
  • A strong grasp of the sales process and customer experience
  • The ability to coach, inspire, and build genuine relationships
  • Calm, solutions-focused thinking in the face of challenges
  • Hands-on experience with budgets, rostering, and merchandising operations
  • A belief that leadership is earned through action—not just title
  • A valid driver's licence and a clean driving record (this is a deal breaker)
  • Comfort with travel across your area—supported by a fully maintained company car
  • A background in floristry or floral merchandising is highly desirable
  • Local knowledge of Wollongong and surrounding areas—essential for navigating roads efficiently and supporting our community presence
Our Mission & Benefits
  • Our mission is simple: deliver beauty, excellence, and value to every customer—and empower our people to do the same.
  • Be part of a company that values innovation, integrity, and people
  • Work with a team that celebrates growth, creativity, and collaboration
  • Enjoy career development opportunities and leadership support
