* Work closely with Head Office departments (Merchandising, Marketing, People & Culture) to ensure alignment and execution.

* Champion the brand's visual and customer experience standards across all locations.

* Oversee new store openings, refits, and seasonal retail planning at the state level.

* Ensure compliance with all operational policies, procedures, and safety requirements.

Candidate Profile:

* 5+ years' experience in a senior multi-site leadership role within fashion retail.

* Demonstrated success in driving commercial performance across large, multi-unit portfolios.

* Strong leadership capabilities with a passion for team development, coaching, and succession planning.

* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to influence and engage at all levels.

* Highly analytical, strategic, and results-driven.

* Ability to manage change and adapt in a fast-paced, evolving retail landscape.

* A natural affinity with fashion, customer experience, and brand culture.

* Willingness to travel within the state as required.

In Return:
