As a Store Manager Designate, you'll play a key role across a number of stores within your local area, providing leadership, support and expertise where it's needed most. Rather than being based in one location from day one, you'll gain experience across multiple sites, working alongside different teams and managers to build your knowledge of the business and prepare for your future store leadership role.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious retail leader who enjoys variety, thrives in different environments, and is motivated by making a positive impact across multiple locations. You'll support operational excellence, drive commercial performance, develop colleagues, and help create great experiences for customers wherever you work.

This role covers multiple stores within the Hertfordshire area and is not initially assigned to a single permanent store. Flexibility to travel between stores within the designated area is essential.

At B&M, no two days are the same. You'll have the autonomy to drive store performance, inspire your team to deliver exceptional standards and create a shopping experience that keeps customers coming back. Whether it's identifying opportunities to grow sales, improving operational efficiency or coaching colleagues to reach their potential, you'll play a key role in the success of the store.

With over 800 stores across the UK and ambitious expansion plans, there's never been a better time to join a business that's investing in its people, supporting career development and creating exciting opportunities for growth.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading and developing a motivated, high-performing store team.
• Driving sales, profit and KPI performance through strong commercial decision-making.
• Delivering exceptional customer service and creating a great shopping experience.
• Maintaining outstanding standards across availability, merchandising and store presentation.
• Managing stock, compliance and health & safety standards.
• Recruiting, coaching and developing colleagues to support their growth and progression.

• Create a welcoming environment where customers receive great service and colleagues feel valued and supported.
• Build a strong, collaborative team that work together to achieve shared goals and celebrate success.
• Focus on what matters most, making decisions quickly and adapting to changing business needs.
• Develop and coach colleagues to build capability, confidence and future talent within the business.
• Take ownership of store performance, using sound judgement and commercial thinking to drive results.
• Lead by example, maintaining high standards and creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

You'll Also Bring

• Senior experience managing a fast-paced, high-volume retail environment.
• Strong commercial awareness and a track record of delivering sales and operational KPIs.
• A passion for delivering exceptional standards and operational excellence.
• Experience leading, motivating and developing teams.
• Confidence managing compliance, stock and health & safety.
• Flexibility to work weekends and bank holidays.
• FMCG or big-box retail experience is desirable but not essential.
