(AKA: Assistant Store Manager)
Are you a hands-on leader who understands the rhythm of a busy trade environment? Can you drive performance, build capability in your team, and keep operations running like a well-built frame? Do KPIs, stock turns and P&Ls feel like tools you know how to use — not reports to shy away from?
If you’re commercially sharp, operationally strong and confident leading from the front, we’d love to talk.
