Full Job Description

WHO WE ARE

Known as the 'Undisputed King of Trainers', JD Sports is one of the world's biggest sports fashion brands.

We are a global retailer with over 3,400 stores worldwide, connecting people to Sport, Music, and Fashion culture. In Australia since 2017, we now have opened 75+ stores across Australia and New Zealand.

At JD Sports, we don't follow trends, we create them. We are looking for passionate people to join our team and help us stay elite in our field.

Join a business that's continuing to grow at pace across Australia and New Zealand, with 10+ new stores set to open in 2026, creating exciting opportunities for further career development.

THE ROLE

As a Cluster Manager, you will oversee 5 stores across the NSW Central Coast and Newcastle (Tuggerah, Erina, Charlestown, Green Hills and Kotara), taking full responsibility for driving commercial performance, operations and team development across your cluster.

This is a hands-on, multi-site leadership role at the heart of one of NSW's key retail regions. With all five stores within about an hour of each other, it is a genuinely connected patch you can lead with real presence, close to your teams and close to home.

You will be accountable for a $30m+ combined turnover, cluster, leading a team of 5 Store Managers and their in-store leadership teams, and playing a critical part in shaping the next level of leadership capability across the region.

YOUR MANDATE

Full commercial accountability across your five-store cluster
Drive profitable growth across sales, conversion, ATV and payroll control
Build and elevate high-performance Store Manager capability
Strengthen leadership bench and succession pipelines across all stores
Identify underperformance early and execute decisive commercial action plans
Embed operational excellence and brand consistency across the cluster
Partner with your Area Manager and Support Office to shape cluster strategy
Build a cluster that consistently outperforms market benchmarks

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

Commercial Leadership

Own and deliver cluster sales, profit and wage budgets
Analyse financial performance and implement data-led commercial strategies
Optimise stock flow, sell-through and productivity metrics
Drive consistent growth against YoY and market benchmarks
Drive profit protection across shrink control, markdown discipline and stock loss

People & Capability

Lead, coach and manage a team of Store Managers across the cluster
Develop future multi-site leaders and succession-ready talent
Build a high-performance culture with clear standards and accountability
Make confident talent decisions to protect and elevate performance

Customer & Brand

Ensure a premium customer experience across all five stores
Protect brand standards and VM execution across the cluster
Drive customer engagement and service metrics

Operational Excellence

Maintain strong governance across compliance, health & safety and risk
Deliver disciplined payroll management aligned to productivity targets
Ensure operational consistency across all five stores

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Proven multi-site retail leader, or a high-performing Store Manager ready to step up into their first multi-site role
Commercially sharp, data-driven and financially literate
Demonstrated history of delivering against sales and profit benchmarks
Track record of building high-performance store teams
Comfortable operating in competitive, fast-paced retail environments
Confident making tough decisions when performance demands it
Experience within sports fashion or high-volume fashion retail preferred

You are not just operationally sound, you are commercially ambitious and people-focused, with the ability to scale performance.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

Lead a connected, high-potential cluster in one of NSW's key retail regions
Exposure to senior ANZ leadership
Autonomy to shape and execute cluster strategy
Competitive base salary + super + car allowance + performance bonus
Training and leadership development opportunities to enhance your career
Staff discount and access to industry-leading brands
Parental leave, EAP and wellbeing initiatives
Join a business on the move, investing in its people and with a commitment to listening, developing and celebrating our teams

If you are ready to take ownership of a store cluster and elevate it to market-leading performance, we want to hear from you.

We are passionate about connecting with driven and skilled individuals who are invested in their development, so that together we can evolve our brand's success, alongside evolving your career.

JD values diversity and inclusion and champions a culture where everyone feels valued, included, and celebrated.

What are you waiting for? Apply today and kick start your JD Sports Journey.
