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
