Retail Manager
We are an exciting, artisan food business growing through Sussex into Kent and creating food destinations with a mixture of Cafés, Delis and Fine Dining restaurants. We are looking for an ambitious, hard working, charismatic individual to manage our Deli of the Year in Petworth, West Sussex and our Frozen Food Shop, also in Petworth.
The successful candidate will be responsible for recruitment, development and retention of the teams, product selection and merchandising, all Food Safety Legislative requirements, maintaining our level 5 FHRS for the sites and have budgetary responsibility for costs, revenue and margin.
You will need to have sound experience in a similar food retail environment, with great customer interaction skills. You have a proven track record in growing revenue, margin enhancement and merchandising, as well as detailed stock control understanding.
A strong leader with a principled and fair approach to people management, you are happy to be front and centre for shop events or tasting evenings and can move effortlessly from the shop floor to an executive meeting and back again. You will need to work with multi disciplines, liaising with marketing on store ideas and VM, through to finance at month end returns and investigations.
Process lead, you will understand the retail environment and how to give the customer a wonderful experience to maximise sales and garner loyalty in both a local demographic and our further afield foodies.
You understand the provenance and narrative of food and how important educating and engaging with the customers is around food and hospitality. You will also need to love our shop and the food within it, as much as we do.
Weekend working is essential, as this is our busiest time, but for the right candidate this could be a fantastic opportunity to grow with a dynamic company and acquire 360 degree responsibility for a beautiful, unique food emporium.
