General Store Manager

Description

General Store Manager Large Format Retail Salary 65–80,000

This is not a typical Store Manager role.

We're working with a leading UK retail brand to appoint a high–performing Store Manager for a large–format, high–turnover site. This role is about leading at scale–managing complexity, driving performance, and building a team that can deliver consistently in a demanding, fast–paced environment.

If you thrive on accountability, pace, and leading large teams to deliver measurable results, this is where you step up.

What You'll Be Responsible for as a General Store Manager

This is a big leadership role with real operational depth.

You'll take full ownership of a large–format store–leading multiple departments, driving commercial performance, and ensuring operational excellence across the board.

Lead a large, multi–layered team – develop managers, not just individuals

Own full–store performance – sales, labour, stock, and profitability

Drive operational excellence – from stock flow and availability to compliance and standards

Create a high–performance culture – clear expectations, strong accountability, consistent delivery

Make fast, informed decisions – balancing customer experience with commercial priorities

Why This Role Stands Out

Top Store Managers in large–format retail look for scale, challenge, and progression–this delivers all three.

True scale & complexity – lead a high–volume store with multiple moving parts

Autonomy & accountability – real ownership of performance, not just execution

Progression into senior leadership – clear pathways into Area and Regional roles

Well–established brand – strong infrastructure, systems, and support

What We're Looking For in our new General Store Manager

This role suits a proven operator who can lead at scale.

Experience managing a large–format, high–volume retail environment

Strong track record of delivering against sales, labour, and operational KPIs

Experience leading large teams and developing department managers

Highly organised, commercially aware, and comfortable with complexity

Resilient, decisive, and thrives in a fast–paced environment

What You'll Get

Industry leading salary and bonus package

Structured development and progression opportunities

A role with real influence over a major retail operation

A business that values performance, leadership, and results
