Are 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 Southampton 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 Store Manager, you'll be present 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!

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

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 B&M 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!

We remain committed to the development of our teams, 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, or a move across to another area of the business. If you’re looking to progress, B&M will help you get there!
