AddressAre you a Store Manager, Operations Manager, Trading Manager, Deputy Manager or Assistant Manager looking for your next step? Are you a dynamic leader ready to take your retail career to the next level? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment and have a track record of driving exceptional store standards and sales growth? Well, look no further…
We’re looking for a Store Manager to join one of our store teams in the Ipswich Area!
About the Role
Leading your management team & colleagues in store, you’ll run your store like it’s your own business – overseeing all aspects of your store’s operations from stock to recruitment. You’ll have the freedom to think for yourself, using your commercial knowledge to maximise sales potential in your store.
We don’t have office managers at B&M! As a manager, you’ll be out there on the floor, getting stuck in and playing a key part in the successful running of your store! Whether it’s processing deliveries, assisting customers, supporting with floor moves or managing compliance, you’ll be a hands-on leader! You’ll work closely with your team, driving them to achieve their best. And you’ll coach and inspire them to reach their full potential… they could be a manager of the future with your guidance!
Why B&M?
At B&M, we’re not just any retailer. We’re one of the fastest growing in the UK, with over 740 stores and an exciting plan for new openings in 2024. Joining us means you can be part of an amazing journey. But it’s not just our rapid expansion that sets us apart; it’s our ongoing commitment to our people. Our growth is huge and is showing no signs of slowing down… and you could play a key part in it!
Your Progression
Looking to progress in your role? We love allowing our people to grow, and the sky’s the limit for Store Managers at B&M. We remain committed to developing you, and providing prospects to everyone at all levels. In fact, over 75% of our retail managers are home grown, so your career progression comes as standard! Our commitment to internal succession is something we’re very proud of.
There is a dedicated step-up programme for those of you looking for your next step – whether that’s progression upwards to a regional role, or a move across to another area of the business. If you’re looking to progress, B&M will help you get there!
What We Offer:
- Competitive Package: Enjoy a competitive salary with a rewarding annual bonus potential
- Clear Career Path: Job stability and a clear path for career progression. At B&M, your growth matters
- Training and Development: Extensive on-the-job training and internal progression opportunities
- Store Discounts: 10% store discount across all B&M stores (including Heron), with regular double discount events
- Annual Leave: Up to 33 days of annual leave
- Pension Plan: Take part in a contributable pension scheme
- Exclusive Benefits: Exclusive colleague benefits, including discounts for retailers, hospitality and more
- Wellbeing Support: Our Employee Assistant Programme provides wellbeing support & guidance to all B&M colleagues
To Be Successful, You Will:
- Be an Engaging Leader: Lead your store with passion, setting the pace, and showcasing excellent customer service & commerciality
- Embrace Pace: You’ll have experience of working within a fast-paced setting and dealing with high volumes of stock/product
- Achieve Excellence: Drive sales growth, maintain outstanding store standards, and consistently exceed KPIs within your store
- Develop a Winning Team: You’ll love developing your team – working with them to identify and nurture talent… & train them to achieve success!
- Welcome Challenges: Be hands-on and resilient – no 2 days are the same and you’ll be flexible & reactive to change
- Love Retail: Demonstrate a true passion for retail, bringing your commercial knowledge to your team & store
- Drive Compliance: Constantly drive compliance within your store, whether it’s through stocktakes, health & safety or people processes
What You’ll Need:
- Store Management experience within a fast-paced and high turnover Retail environment
- Experience of managing & developing medium to large sized teams
- A history of successfully working towards & achieving KPI’s
- Flexibility to work a range of hours, including weekends & bank holidays
Experience within an FMCG/big box setting is ideal, but not essential. If you feel you’ve got the people, organisational and commercial skills to successfully run your own B&M store, we’d love to hear from you!
