- Provide business support (e.g., help with business planning, store strategy and budgeting, commercial decisions) to ensure stores' success
- Advise on new lines, ranging, ticketing, catalogue compliance and identify wholesale sales opportunities (incl. Charge through, Weekly best deals)
- Use available shoppers' and stores' data (e.g., demographic trends) to advise on additional range opportunities
- Conduct operational and compliance checks e.g. OEP & FSA in order to drive retail standards and brand protection
What you'll bring
- Grocery retail management knowledge and sales experience in the retail supermarket sector at store manager or multi-site level
- Strong understanding of Fresh & Produce in terms of food safety and compliance, product knowledge etc
- Expertise in drawing consumer and store insights from data to inform and conduct business management, strategic planning, and problem solving in the retail supermarket sector

- Demonstrate effective promotional and sales skills, with a strong track record of meeting aggressive or exceeding sales targets
- Ability to convince, persuade, and close successful deals
- Country / Regional travel required
What we can offer you
- An extra week of annual leave after your first year as part of our Fifth Week program
- Great corporate benefits including retail discounts, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), wellbeing days and much more.
- A proven diverse and inclusive workplace environment that rewards people purely on their values, engagement, and performance.
- The opportunity to be a key part of a dynamic, professional, and high performing team.
We're all about celebrating success, and we're proud to be a WGEA Employer of Choice for Women, an accredited Flex Ready workplace, and a Gold Standard Mental Health First Aid skilled workplace.
So, roll up your sleeves and bring your best self to work, and we'll give you the support you need to develop a rewarding career and make your mark on the future of retail.
